What are Perennial, Annuals and Biennials?
If you have recently taken up gardening and have been hearing these words- Perennial, Annual and biennial often; then you must be wondering what they really mean… To become a successful gardener it is really crucial to know the basics so that you can contribute towards maintaining a healthy and beautiful garden.
It is important to know the difference between different types of plants so that you choose the best that suits your garden and matches your requirements.
Perennial Plants—Perennial plants are those that live for more than two years. They have a longer life span than the annuals and biennials. The perennial plants bloom and flower during spring/ summer seasons and then they die or become dormant during winter season. The cycle repeats again in the coming seasons. Generally, the first year is the time when the plant grows to become big and healthy. Later years, mark the maturity stage when the plants yield fruits and flowers. If you maintain and take care of these plants then they will yield flowers or fruits for seasons to come.
Annual Plants—Annuals are the plants that complete their entire life span in one year. They generally grow, produce flowers and die during a single year and the germination is carried out in later years through seeds. These types of plants mature quickly to produce flowers and fruits/ vegetables. There life is restricted to one growing season after which they die. Some of the common annual plants that are grown extensively are corn, beans, marigold, lettuce and peas.
Biennial Plants—Biennial plants are the ones that complete their life cycle in a span of two years. The germination and plant growth occurs during the first year of planting and the second year marks the production of flowers and seeds. After flowering and completing the cycle of two years they die. The examples include—Hollyhocks, Parsley, Sweet Wiiliam, Carrot, etc.
