So, What is a Perennial? "A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years. The term (per- + -ennial, "through the years") is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter-lived annuals and biennials. The term is also widely used to distinguish plants with little or no woody growth from trees and shrubs, which are also technically perennials.
So what is a Herbaceous Perennial?
I am using the contents from "Landscaping with Perennials by Emily Brown. 5th printing 1989 by Timber Press. ISBN 0-88192-063-0 for planting sites for perennials, which include most plant types except Annuals and Biennials". She does actually use some annuals and perhaps biennials. Hopefully she is only using Herbaceous Perennials (with no persistent woody stems above ground), Evergreen Perennials, subshrubs, ferns, bulbs, annuals and grasses. Perhaps she may have left out trees and shrubs. |
