Home›Plants›Plant kind›Perennial Herbs›All Perennial HerbsBrowse ByAll Perennial HerbsHerbs that live for three or more years, dying back in winter and growing again from the same root each spring, including yarrow, mugwort, vervain, comfrey, nettle, wormwood, feverfew and meadowsweet. A plant belongs here when its cited plant database page gives its life cycle as perennial and describes it as a herbaceous plant rather than a woody shrub. It excludes annual and biennial herbs, which complete their cycle in one or two years, and the evergreen shrubby herbs such as sage and thyme, which keep woody stems all year and sit in their own group.All Perennial HerbsSourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)All Perennial HerbsFilter Results21 entriesElement CorrespondenceAllAir (3)Earth (4)Fire (7)Water (4)Origin RegionAllCaucasus
