Visi This chart shows the difference between annuals, biennials and perennials. Perennials are plants that live for more that 2 years, some out live their owners, and others only live a few years. All perennials will flower for a portion of the growing season and then store food to assure growth the following year. In some plants, such as lilies or tulips, this storage of food takes place in bulbs; in others, such as hosta or daylilies, they develop large roots. Without this time of food storage, perennials would not be able to continue grow each year. Annuals differ by putting all their energy into flowers and store no food for the following year. This is why annuals flower for a long period of time, usually all summer, and perennials flower only a short time. Perennials must store food to enable them to grow again the following year. Flowering takes energy and depletes food storage. Long flowering perennials may tend to be shorter-lived plants in general.. Forages and Grasses.
