Biennials

By The Old House Web
Plants that live only two years and die are called biennials. Plants usually grow vegetatively (producing leaves) the first year and flowering the second.

Common biennials include: Foxglove (Digitalis), Money Plant (Lunaria), Lupines, sweet williams (Dianthus), Canterbury bells, hollyhocks, leeks (Allium), parsley, and cabbage.
