A special subset of perennials are plants that form [[bulb (plant)|bulb]]s or [[tuber]]s, where all the energy for the next year's growth is stored in a large underground organ (the bulb), which is exhausted and then replenished or reformed over the course of each growing cycle.  The most familiar examples of these are [[tulip]]s and [[daffodil]]s (bulbs), and [[potato]]es (tubers).

A perennial should not be confused with a self-reseeding [[annual (botany)|annual]] or [[biennial plants|biennial]], since those plants die after one or two years respectively but set seeds that are hardy in the relevant climate.
