Bulb plants have the ability to provide themselves with a reserve of nutrients, which then allows them to disappear at the end of the season and to bloom again the following season and thus continue their vegetative cycle over several years. Thus, the bulbous plant stores reserves underground in order to maintain its different cycles.
We often tend to describe as ''bulbose'', all the plants which are composed of an underground reserve organ, which allows them to survive from one year to the next. other. Bulb plants are therefore part of the large family of perennials.
