Understanding Biennials

Biennials, such as Angelica, Arctic Poppies, and Foxgloves, live for two years, with their blooming season occurring in the second year after focusing on growth in the first. These plants can often confuse with perennials due to reseeding habits, providing a continuous display of flowers if managed correctly. By sowing biennials yearly, one can ensure a consistent supply of cut flowers, making them a valuable addition to any cutting patch.
