Best Answer

No. It is an annual.

Annual = the plant completes its life cycle of sprouting, growing, setting seed and dying in one season (year). Examples: corn, petunias, melons, tomatoes.

Biennial = the plant completes its life cycle in 2 seasons (years). Examples: Cabbage, hollyhocks, beets, carrots.

Perennial = the plant completes its life cycle in three or more seasons (years). Examples: asparagus, strawberries, maple trees, peonies, lavender.

Because it matures in the same growing season that it's planted. Biennial crops, onion for example, do not fully mature until the second season after they are planted.
