biennial plant
flowering plant that takes two years to complete its biological lifecycle. In the first year, the plant grows leaves, stems, and roots (vegetative structures), then it enters a period of dormancy over the colder months
AI overview
A biennial plant is a flowering plant that needs two years to complete its life cycle, growing leaves and roots during its first year before going dormant through winter. In its second year, the plant typically flowers, produces seeds, and dies, which is why understanding biennials matters for gardeners and farmers who need to plan accordingly for when these plants will bloom and produce their harvest.
