Indeed, perennials are just like the mailman &#8211; they always deliver regardless of the day or the weather, they deliver all year round. So why is the perennial such a hardy and plucky plant, even in the wintertime, more so than any other plant that gives up the ghost when the chill winds of winter start blowing? <\/p>\n<p>Why can&#8217;t scientists engineer annuals or biennials to last as long the perennial plant?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s like George Orwell&#8217;s Animal Farm &#8211; some plants are created more equal than others &#8211; but in any case, scientists can actually make certain annual plants and biennial plants survive longer. To do so, they must examine the perennial plant and find out what allows it to survive in the same environment that causes other to perish. Money isn&#8217;t the only factor that satiates our curiosity &#8211; there are many other reasons why people want to know how a non-perennial can extend its lifespan, and it isn&#8217;t all about the floral industry coming on like gangbusters and taking the whole world by storm. If we had vast amounts of plants that have medicinal and life saving properties, we could study their curing capabilities at an exponential rate. The perennial plant and its longevity are getting so many people excited for the right reasons.<\/p>\n<p>The perennial plant is quite interesting in its means of survival, and it&#8217;s got some neat tricks it puts into play when ensuring its legendary longevity for coming years. Classic example &#8211; trees and shrubs. These drop their leaves and protect their next year&#8217;s growth with waxy scales. These scales feel waxy, and sure enough you will notice a waterproof substance sticking to the bud of a perennial plant. You can tell the number of times a perennial plant would grow in one year by measuring the distance between scars after the scales have fallen off.<\/p>\n<p>The perennial plant gets ready for the winter by removing its food supply starting from the leaves found inside the twigs, branches and trunk. The perennial plant protects itself from the cold through a process called &#8220;hardening&#8221;, which is when its tissues would change in such a way that they become impenetrable to cold weather. The reason why leaves turn red, orange, yellow and brown in the fall is due to the aftermath of the hardening stage &#8211; chlorophyll decomposes and loses its ability to provide leaves with the green color you would see in most other seasons.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Cheers for investing your time to read our script.
