Jesus told a parable. A farmer scattered seeds and they land in various places: (1) footpath where birds eat it, (2) shallow rocky soil where there is growth but no deep roots, (3) soil with thorns where the thorns eventually outgrow the plants, and (4) fertile soil that yields a good crop.

            Perennials are plants that survive for three or more years, 
some die back to the ground after a killing 
frost but regrow in the next summer season.
