Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definitions of the terms: An annual plant completes its life cycle in one year, a biennial plant takes two years to complete its life cycle, and a perennial plant lives for more than two years, often blooming each year.
Consider the growth patterns: Annuals need to be replanted each year, biennials bloom in their second year, and perennials can bloom every year after they mature.
Determine the desired outcome: You want a plant that blooms every spring, which suggests a plant that can survive and bloom year after year without replanting.
Evaluate the options: An annual will not bloom every spring without replanting, a biennial will only bloom in its second year, and a plant with determinate growth refers to a growth pattern rather than a life cycle.
Conclude that a perennial is the best choice for a plant that blooms every spring, as it will continue to grow and bloom each year after it is established.
