ANNUAL,
PERENNIAL,
BIENNIAL?




Annuals

Plants that perform their entire life cycle from seed to flower
to seed within a single growing season. All roots, stems and
leaves of the plant die annually. Only the dormant seed bridges
the gap between one generation and the next.Perennials - Plants
that persist for many growing seasons. Generally the top portion
of the plant dies back each winter and regrows the following
spring from the same root system (e.g. Purple Coneflower).

Many perennial plants do keep their leaves year round and offer
attractive borders and groundcover (e.g. Tickseed, Shasta and
Ox-Eyed Daisy).



NOTE:

WHEN STARTING PERENNIAL PLANTS FROM
SEED, BLOOMS WILL BE OBSERVED IN
EITHER THE SPRING OR SUMMER OF THE
SECOND YEAR AND EACH YEAR THEREAFTER
(e.g. Ox-Eyed Daisy planted in the spring of 1996 will
not bloom until the spring of 1997).



Biennials

Plants which require two years to complete their life cycle. First season
growth results in a small rosette of leaves near the soil surface. During
the second season's growth stem elongation, flowering and seed formation
occur followed by the entire plant's death.



Annual/Perennial

A plant can behave as an annual or a perennial depending on local climatic
and geographic growing conditions. In the southern portion of the United
States, these plants tend to grow much quicker than in the north due to the
warmer weather and extended growing season. For example: a Black-Eyed
Susan would behave as an annual if grown in Louisiana; whereas, if grown
in Ohio, a Black-Eyed Susan would behave as a perennial.
