Perennials:-These plants are mostly shrubs and trees which alive for many years.They produce flowers,seeds and fruits year after year.E.g:-Mango,China Rose etc. A perennial plant is a plant the once it is planted and takes root - after it's annual appearance will go "dormant" in the ground - sometimes called "wintering over" but will return again each year- examples of these are bleeding hearts, mums, coreopsis, coral bells, and trillium. Annuals only last one season- (unless you live someplace really warm)- examples of annuals are impatiens and begonias. Biennials live for two years, a season of growth, and a second year of flowering - foxgloves are an example. All around the year. perennials are herbaceous, they completely die back to the ground, and return the next spring. these do not include "shrubs, trees etc" as these are "woodys" and the plant is alive during the dormant period but will grow from this wood the following year.
A perennial plant or simply perennial (Latin per, "through", annus, "year") is a plant that lives for more than two years.[1] The term is often used to differentiate a plant from shorter lived annuals and biennials. When used by gardeners or horticulturalists, perennial applies specifically to winter hardy herbaceous plants. Scientifically, woody plants like shrubs and trees are also perennial in their habit.

Perennials, especially small flowering plants, grow and bloom over the spring and summer and then die back every autumn and winter, then return in the spring from their root-stock rather than seeding themselves as an annual plant does. These are known as herbaceous perennials. However, depending on the rigors of local climate, a plant that is a perennial in its native habitat, or in a milder garden, may be treated by a gardener as an annual and planted out every year, from seed, from cuttings or from divisions. Perennial plants are plants that have a life span of more than two years. A perennial plant is a small flowering plant that will grow and bloom over the spring and summer, but die each autumn and winter and return back into the spring.
