perennial plant
Comes back yearly
A perennial plant lives for more than two years, unlike annuals that complete their cycle in one season or biennials that take two.
Many perennials die back to the roots in winter and regrow in spring: The hostas are perennials—they'll come back every year.
Trees and shrubs are technically perennials, but gardeners usually reserve the term for herbaceous plants like lavender, daylilies, and peonies.
