Biennials are plants that last for two years, tending to develop a small rosette of leaves in the first year before flowering and producing seeds in the second year. Perennials are plants that survive for many growing seasons. Many perennials are herbaceous, meaning their top growth dies back to the ground each winter but their roots survive and will burst back into life again in the spring. In contrast, annuals are plants that last one year, performing their entire life cycle from seed to flower to seed within a single growing season with all roots, stems and leaves of the plant dying annually. Biennials and perennials are frost hardy, meaning they will survive the frost outdoors. Some plants may behave as an annual or a perennial depending on the local climate and growing conditions. We offer a range of 20+ seeds that can be grown as perennials or biennials, including delphinium seeds, foxglove, lupin seeds, pansy seeds, sweet pea and wildflower seeds.
