püsitaimed

Püsitaimed, also known as perennials, are a category of flowering plants that live for more than two years. Unlike annuals, which complete their life cycle in a single growing season, or biennials, which take two years, perennials have the ability to regrow from their root systems year after year. This characteristic makes them a popular choice for gardens, as they provide a long-term and often recurring display of flowers, foliage, or other ornamental features.

The life cycle of a perennial typically involves the plant growing, flowering, and setting seed in its first year. In subsequent years, the roots survive the dormant season, often winter, and then send up new shoots in the spring. This allows perennials to establish themselves and grow larger and more robust over time. Many perennial species are known for their longevity, with some individuals living for decades or even centuries.

Perennials come in a vast array of sizes, shapes, and colors, catering to diverse garden designs and climates. They range from low-growing groundcovers and small flowering plants to large shrubs and trees. Their ability to return each year reduces the need for annual replanting, making them a more sustainable and cost-effective option for gardeners. Proper care, including appropriate soil conditions, watering, and occasional division, helps ensure the continued health and vigor of perennial plants.
