Perrenal(sp) plants go into a dormant state during winter. An example of this is what trees do. Now I live in the south, so the winters are mild to say the least. I have also grown outdoors, and harvested the main buds from a plant, yet left the plant still mostly in tact (roots, stalk, some small buds and leaves). The plant never grew back in the spring. By that time the stalk had died and rotted. If it were a perrenal plant it would have grown back like a tree after loseing it's leaves.
