Biennial
A plant that grows leaves in its first year, then flowers, seeds and dies in its second.
A biennial takes two seasons. In the first it builds a low rosette of leaves and a store of food. After a winter it sends up a flowering stem, sets seed and dies. Foxgloves, sweet williams, honesty, wallflowers and Canterbury bells are usually grown this way. Gardeners sow them in summer for flowers the following spring. Many biennials seed themselves around, so once a patch is started, there are plants at both stages each year.
