perennial
A perennial herbaceous plant whose above-ground parts die off in winter, but which sprouts again from the rootstock in spring. Unlike shrubs, it does not become woody.
Für ein pflegeleichtes Beet eignen sich winterharte Stauden wie Lavendel oder Salbei.
Hardy perennials like lavender or sage are suitable for a low-maintenance flower bed.
A 'Staude' (perennial) is a garden plant with a special characteristic: its leaves and stems die off in autumn, but its root survives the winter in the ground. The next spring, the plant grows again from the same root.
Ich habe mein Blumenbeet nur mit Stauden bepflanzt, damit es jedes Jahr wieder blüht.
I planted my flower bed only with perennials so that it blooms again every year.
In connection with perennials, you often hear the adjective 'winterhart' (hardy), which means that they survive the winter. Typical activities are 'Stauden pflanzen' (to plant perennials), 'Stauden pflegen' (to care for perennials), and 'Stauden zurückschneiden' (to cut back perennials).
Im Herbst sollte man die meisten Stauden zurückschneiden.
In autumn, you should cut back most perennials.
The word 'Staude' (perennial) is a typical term from the fields of gardening and botany. You often find it in garden centers, on plant labels, and in gardening magazines.
Im Gartencenter gibt es eine große Abteilung nur für Stauden.
At the garden center, there is a large section just for perennials.

Here, Kraut refers generally to a non-woody plant and does not tell us for certain how long it lives. Staude is more specific: it is perennial, dies back above ground in winter, and grows again. This particular growth form is therefore better described as a Staude.
Diese mehrjährige Staude treibt nach dem Winter wieder aus.
This perennial grows again after winter.
Dieses einjährige Kraut stirbt nach der Blüte vollständig ab.
This annual herb dies off completely after flowering.
