This is a bit of a silly question but, a biennial, does it die after
it's
flowered or come back again like a perennial does?

A plant that requires two growing seasons to complete its life cycle.
e.g. Foxglove. Leaves are formed during the first year, flowers and seeds
the following season
--------------

So I would say it dies....
But I'm on my first year with my foxgloves....So I will have to wait and
see!

Then there are some plants - wallflowers say - which are treated as
biennials and planted out for spring flowering then thrown away. However,
wallflowers are perennials.
