Life Cycles
Perennials
Perennial Herbaceous
Grow from rootstock in Spring
Produces flowers & seeds in summer
start dying & loosing leaves for the winter
overwinters as a rootstock
Half Hardy Perennial
Start in greenhouse or polytunnel in spring
Planted in summer after being hardened off
Tender Perennials
The places need to be grown indoor all year
Perennial non Herbaceous
Annuals
Half Hardy Annuals
Sow & Grown in a polytunnel or greenhouse in spring
Planted out in summer or late spring when no signs of frost
Some can be sown outside in autumn to be left to overwinter
Germinate in spring
Flower and produce leaves in summer
Seeds produced & dispersed in autumn and plant dies.
During winter seeds are dormant waiting for spring
Ephemerals
Completes life cycle is less than a year
Germinates and over a few weeks will produce leaves and flower to produce seeds
Biennials
Sown in summer
Produce small rosette of leaves late summer/autumn
Overwinter with a storage organ tap root
Flowers and seeds during Summer in 2nd year
