Rasgos

Floración

Las plantas con flores son cualquier planta que produce flores como parte de su ciclo reproductivo.

Bienal

Las plantas bienales completan su ciclo de vida en dos temporadas de crecimiento, formando típicamente follaje en el primer año y floreciendo o semillando en el segundo.

Floración primaveral

Las plantas de floración primaveral producen sus flores durante la temporada de primavera, lo que a menudo significa el final del invierno y el comienzo de un nuevo crecimiento.
