Document Summary
A seed plant can either be annual or perennial: annual: the seed germinates, the plant grows, it flowers and then it dies once the seed is mature. The seed perpetuates the species the following growing season. The seed is a means by which the species is perpetuated during periods of inclement weather drought or cold: perennial: are perpetuated by both seed and perennial plant parts that survive from season to season. The perennial plant, growing in a temperate zone with distinct seasons will have a growing cycle that oscillates between active and dormant. This dormancy may be imposed by cold or drought. The description of the growth stages of a grapevine. The grapevine grows very rapidly in the spring, between early may and late june and then flowers during late june and early july. After this, the flowers set and the berries begin to grow.
