Biennial

The name 'biennial' is from the Latin biennis. Meaning 'two years'. No prizes for guessing that biennials don't flower in the year they are sown but in the following one. A good example of a biennial herb is parsley.

From a planning and design perspective try to keep your annuals and biennials grouped together in the garden. This ensures that you don't need to disturb your prize perennial herbs when you need to replace the annuals.
