An annual lives, produces, sets seed and dies in one year. Doesn't matter what you do, it dies. A perennial lives from three years onward., depending on the species. If a biennial or perennial is not hardy in a climate, it is often grown as an annual, but in the correct climate it lives longer. Broccoli is a member of the Brassica genus, along with cabbage, Brussels sprouts, kale, collards, kohlrabi, gai lan, sui choi, bok choi. Broccoli is neither annual nor perennial: it is a biennial. This means it grows the first year and it flowers the second year -- then it dies. Broccoli is actually the flower of the plant. Biennials can often be fooled into thinking they have lived two years by planting them in late summer. They experience a winter, then flower the next spring. In our counting it is less than 12 months, but in the plant's cycle it has experienced 2 growing seasons, so it blooms ... thus the broccoli head.
