perennial flowers

Return each spring

Perennial flowers are plants that live for more than two years, returning season after season from the same root system.

Unlike annuals, which complete their life cycle in one year, perennials die back in winter and regrow in spring: The perennial flowers are coming up again.

Gardeners prize them for their longevity and lower maintenance once established.
