Annuals, Biennials And Perennials
key notes:
🌱 Annuals, Biennials, and Perennials
Plants can be grouped based on how long they live.
1️⃣ Annuals
Definition: Plants that complete their life cycle (from seed → plant → flower → seed) in one year or less.
Examples: Sunflower, Marigold, Wheat, Rice.
Key Points:
- Grow from seed and die in the same year.
- Usually have bright, colorful flowers.
- Need to be planted again every year.
2️⃣ Biennials
Definition: Plants that take two years to complete their life cycle.
Examples: Carrot, Beetroot, Cabbage.
Key Points:
- First year: Grow leaves, roots, and stems.
- Second year: Flower, produce seeds, and then die.
3️⃣ Perennials
Definition: Plants that live for many years.
Examples: Mango tree, Rose, Tulip.
Key Points:
- Do not need to be replanted every year.
- Keep growing and producing flowers/fruits for many seasons.
- Some lose leaves in winter, others stay green all year.
