Perennials provide the majority of the plants used for so many garden styles,  from a drought tolerant garden to a tropical garden or the traditional cottage garden.  A perennial plant is one that comes back year after year and doesn't produce lasting woody material.  Many  perennials grow back from robust root systems.  Other perennials produce creeping rhizomes dividing and multiplying as they creep along.  Those selected for the garden will produce a great show of flowers year after year during their season of glory.
