Perennials, the wonderful plants that return yearly!Perennial Plants Perennial plants are plants that live longer than two year. Perennial plants include a very large number of plants. Some grasses and blooming plants, for example dahlias, are perennial plants. When perennial plants grow out of their natural environment, they can be replanted in the spring from seeds, cuttings or by dividing roots. In other words they are grown like annual plants. TYPES OF PERENNIALS Another type of perennial is herbaceous plant. In their native climate, these plants die back to the roots every year, usually during the winter. Then they grow back from the roots the following spring. Examples of these are alfalfa and red clover. The final type of perennial plant is the monocarpic perennial. This perennial can live a few years or many years. An agave plant is one example. Monocarpic perennials will bloom once then die. However, monocarpic perennials will produce new plants at their base before perishing. BENEFITS More benefits are listed in the article "Perennial Crops: Plant Once, Harvest Many Times" |
