Home›Flowers›Perennial FlowersGroupPerennial FlowersFlowering plants that live for several years and bloom again each season from the same root or crown, including peony, carnation, primrose, iris, lotus and sweet violet. A plant belongs here when its cited plant database page gives its life cycle as perennial and it is not grown from a bulb or corm or as a climber. It excludes annual flowers, which last a single season, and the bulb and climbing flowers, which have their own groups. These are the flowers of long-lived temple pools, cottage borders and monastery gardens, and many carry centuries of religious and folk meaning because the same plant returns each spring.Browse BySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)Browse ByAll Perennial FlowersPerennial Flowers9 entriesPerennial FlowersFilter Results9 entriesOriginates In LanguageAllAncient Greek (1)Latin (1)Element CorrespondenceAllAir (1)Earth (1)Fire (3)Water (3)Origin RegionAllEast Asia (1)Europe (3)Mediterranean Basin (2)North Africa (2)Southern Africa (1)Western Asia (2)Western Europe (1)Traditional AilmentsAllGentle healing herb for wounds and the nerves (1)Root and leaf used to open the liver and provoke urine (1)Root used as a gentle physic for the chest (1)Root worn as a guard against convulsions and nightmare (1)Roots and seeds nourishing and calming to the body (1)Used for fevers, inflammations, and griefs of the chest (1)Used to comfort the heart and cheer the spirits (1)Ruling PlanetAllJupiter (2)Mars (1)Moon (1)Sun (2)Venus (3)Native To RegionAllEast Asia (1)Europe (3)Mediterranean Basin (2)North Africa (2)Southern Africa (1)Western Asia (2)Western Europe (1)Ritually Used InAllBritish Isles and Gaul (2)Egypt (1)Greece (3)Western Europe (1)Sacred ToAllBrahma (1)Lakshmi (1)Humoral temperamentAllCooling, moistening, and soothing to the fluids of the body (1)Expansive, nourishing, and kindly to the liver and the blood (2)Hot, martial, and stimulating, a herb of heat and iron (1)Soothing, softening, and beautifying (3)Warming, vitalising, and heart-strengthening (1)Plant kindAllPerennial Flowers (9)Part usedAllFlower (5)Leaf (2)Root (4)Seed (1)Stem (1)Whole Plant (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 9DandelionFlowers4 linksSnapdragonFlowers5 linksPeonyFlowers5 linksCalla LilyFlowers3 linksCarnationFlowers7 linksPrimroseFlowers10 linksLotusFlowers10 linksIrisFlowers3 linksVioletFlowers9 linksSourcesPlants For A Future: Paeonia officinalis (plant database entry)Plants For A FutureHas Member: Peony, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Peony, Physical CharacteristicsPaeonia officinalis is a PERENNIAL growing to 0.6 m (2ft) by 0.6 m (2ft in) at a medium rate.View the SourcePlants For A Future: Dianthus caryophyllus (plant database entry)Plants For A FutureHas Member: Carnation, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Carnation, Physical CharacteristicsDianthus caryophyllus is a PERENNIAL growing to 1 m (3ft 3in) by 0.5 m (1ft 8in) at a slow rate.View the SourcePlants For A Future: Primula vulgaris (plant database entry)Plants For A FutureHas Member: Primrose, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Primrose, Physical CharacteristicsPrimula vulgaris is a PERENNIAL growing to 0.3 m (1ft) by 0.3 m (1ft in) at a medium rate.View the SourcePlants For A Future: Nelumbo nucifera (plant database entry)Plants For A FutureHas Member: Lotus, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Lotus, Physical CharacteristicsNelumbo nucifera is a PERENNIAL growing to 1 m (3ft 3in) by 1 m (3ft 3in).View the SourcePlants For A Future: Iris germanica (plant database entry)Plants For A FutureHas Member: Iris, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Iris, Physical CharacteristicsIris germanica is a PERENNIAL growing to 1 m (3ft 3in) by 1.5 m (5ft) at a medium rate.View the SourcePlants For A Future: Viola odorata (plant database entry)Plants For A FutureHas Member: Violet, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Violet, Physical CharacteristicsViola odorata is an evergreen Perennial growing to 0.1 m (0ft 4in) by 0.5 m (1ft 8in) at a fast rate.View the SourcePlants For A Future: Zantedeschia aethiopica - Plants For A FuturePlants For A FutureHas Member: Calla Lily, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Calla Lily, Physical CharacteristicsZantedeschia aethiopica is an evergreen Perennial growing to 1 m (3ft 3in)View the SourcePlants For A Future: Taraxacum officinale - Plants For A FuturePlants For A FutureHas Member: Dandelion, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Dandelion, Physical CharacteristicsTaraxacum officinale is a PERENNIAL growing to 0.5 m (1ft 8in)View the SourcePlants For A Future: Antirrhinum majus - Plants For A FuturePlants For A FutureHas Member: Snapdragon, Physical CharacteristicsQuote, Has Member: Snapdragon, Physical CharacteristicsAntirrhinum majus is a PERENNIAL growing to 1 m (3ft 3in)View the SourceComments (0)No comments yet.
