what does the word perenial mean?

Answer 1

In the garden, perennial means the plant will live for years.
Annuals are sown in the spring, flower in the summer and set seed in the autumn, then they die. You save the seeds for the next year.
Bi-ennials are sown in the spring through to late summer, they flower the following year. They then die, or live but flower every other year.
Deciduous plants drop their leaves in winter, and evergreens keep theirs.
So an evergreen perennial will stay alive and green through the winter.

Perennial means something that happens year after year.

Answer 2

Perenial plants come back year after year. They usualy bloom for a short time. They bloom at different times so make sure you plant early spring, summer and fall ones together so you have constant color. The tall ones should go in the back of the garden, and the ground cover ones shoud go in the front. Some reseed so mulch in the fall to keep the seeds from blowing away. And some you can cut back and they will bloom again and again, some need constant dead heading to promote new flowers. Most need full sun. I palnt some annuals in with them for constant color. And some you can divide for more plants. I have a perenial geranium that is just beautiful, full of flowers, and after a few months cut it back and it grows in a few weeks and is full of flowers again. It mutiplies like mad. It is a low plant and be use between flowers for color all summer, and also is one of the first bloomers. It is very hardy.

Answer 3

Perennials are flowers that don't die after they produce seeds. Annuals are flowers that produce seeds and then die, like sweet peas. Some plants are called "perennial" even though they only live for 3 or 4 years, like columbine. It also depends on where you live. In certain parts of California, Florida, and Hawaii, flowers that are known as "annuals" in other parts of the country can be grown as "perennials" because they don't die off because of the climate. This has nothing to do with seeds, but with frost killing the plant. So the definition of what happens after they produce seeds is the best answer.

Answer 4

A perennial is a plant that lasts a number of years, as opposed to an annual that grows, flowers, produces seed and dies all in one year.

Answer 5

That comes back every year, like a plant that stays alive through winter and blooms every Spring/Summer. And the spelling is "perennial."
