perennial plant![]() Anemone blanda (common name windflower) is a low-growing perennial with a daisylike flower. It flowers in spring, and is found in partially-shaded conditions such as woodland. The windflower should not be confused with the wood anemone, Anemone nemerosa, whose star-shaped flower is rarely found in the UK, Plant that lives for more than two years. Herbaceous perennials have aerial stems and leaves that die each autumn. They survive the winter by means of an underground storage organ (perennating organ), such as a bulb or rhizome. Trees and shrubs or woody perennials have stems that persist above ground throughout the year, and may be either deciduous or evergreen. See also annual plant, biennial plant. |

It was bare of flowers because the perennial plants had been cut down for their winter rest, but there were tall shrubs and low ones which grew together at the back of the bed, and as the robin hopped about under them she saw him hop over a small pile of freshly turned up earth. |
