A section of rosemary stem, an example of a woody plant, showing a typical wood structure. A woody plant is a plant that produces wood as its structural tissue and thus has a hard stem. [1] In cold climates, woody plants further survive winter or dry season above ground, as opposed to herbaceous plants that die back to the ground until spring. [2]
Deciduous perennials include herbaceous and woody plants; herbaceous plants have stems that lack hard, fibrous growth, while woody plants have stems with buds that survive above ground during dormancy. [15] Some perennials are semi-deciduous, meaning they lose some of their leaves in either winter or summer. [16]
Heartwood – the older, nonliving central wood of a tree or woody plant, usually darker and harder than the younger sapwood. Also called duramen. Herbaceous – non-woody and dying to the ground at the end of the growing season. Annual plants die, while perennials regrow from parts on the soil surface, or below ground, the next growing season.

Lysimachia latifolia (broadleaf starflower) is a perennial herbaceous plant of the ground layer of forests in western North America. Herbaceous plants are vascular plants that have no persistent woody stems above ground. [1] [2] This broad category of plants includes many perennials, and nearly all annuals and biennials. [3]
Find out if ranunculus are perennials where you live, and how to protect the corms from winter cold.
A chamaephyte, subshrub or dwarf-shrub is a plant that bears hibernating buds on persistent shoots near the ground – usually woody plants with perennating buds borne close to the ground, usually less than 25 centimetres (9.8 in) above the soil surface. The significance of the closeness to the ground is that the buds remain within the soil ...
However, woody perennials also exemplify a major group of crops, especially fruit trees and nuts. High yield herbaceous perennial grain or seed crops, however, are virtually nonexistent, despite potential agronomic benefits. [43] [44] Several common herbaceous perennial fruit, herbs, and vegetables exist, however; see perennial plants for a list.
