    This document summarizes different ways to classify horticultural crops. It discusses classifying plants based on their life span and life cycle as annuals, biennials, or perennials. Annuals complete their life cycle in one growing season, biennials take two seasons, and perennials persist for multiple years. The document also examines classifying plants by their growth habit, such as succulents, herbs, vines, lianas, and whether they are deciduous or evergreen. Examples are provided for each classification type to illustrate the different categories of horticultural crops.
