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?

The book I have been reading has this to say

--------------
Biennial
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!

I get all confused on this annual, biennial and perennial stuff so I`m
in the frame of mind that if it`s alive then it`ll look good at some
stage, and if it`s dead then it`s compost!

I look at fields of nettles round my way and think to myself "look at
all that compost". SWMBO is getting concerned I think. 8-)
