Best Answer

It is a perennial in its native habitat, although often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual.

Tomatoes are called "tender perennials" because they are truly perennials but they are generally grown as annuals.

Other examples of "tender perennials" are bell peppers and sweet potatoes.
