It can get a little touchy to define what precisely is a perennial. Some plants which are shrubs become a type of perennial when they die (or are cut back) to the ground each year. Other perennials become annuals where the winters are too cold.  This list takes an inclusive, imprecise approach to the concept. (Botanically, we tend to be lumpers rather than splitters.)
