When we hear the term perennial, we often think about certain garden plants, but this is quite misleading when you consider the actual definition of the word. After all, the word actually means something that is capable of lasting or existing for a long or apparently infinite time; enduring or continually recurring.
A perennial plant or simply perennial is a plant that lives more than two years. Some sources cite perennial plants being plants that live more than three years. The term is often used to differentiate a plant from the shorter lived annuals and biennials.

A little information about West Sussex
Bramber Castle in West Sussex
Bramber Castle is a Norman motte and bailey castle formerly the caput of the large feudal barony of Bramber that was held by the Braose family. It is situated in the village of Bramber in West Sussex.
Reports seem to indicate that the Normans were the first to build a fortification in this West Sussex area in around 1070. It served as the administrative hub of the newly created Rape of Bramber, and controlled the River Adur estuary. The castle was held by William de Braose, 1st Lord of Bramber, whose family originated from Falaise.
Except for a short period when it was confiscated by King John, the West Sussex castle remained in the de Braose family, until the male line died out in 1326, and it passed to the Mowbrays. Bramber was one of the poorest parts of West Sussex, and while it remained a centre of administration, the Mowbrays did not live there and by the 1550s, the castle land was simply used for grazing.
During the First English Civil War, Bramber was held by a Parliamentary garrison, under James Temple. In December 1643, a skirmish took place nearby, when a Royalist force unsuccessfully tried to secure the bridge over the River Adur. However, it is unclear whether the castle itself was occupied, while there is no evidence to support a local myth its associated church was used as a gun position.
The West Sussex castle all but lost
Unfortunately very little survives of the original historic structure, as much of the stone was later used to construct the bridge, and other buildings in the nearby village. The castle was excavated in 1966, with another minor survey in 1987; these indicate most of it was built between 1073 to 1130. The addition of an outer ditch around 1209 caused the collapse of much of the original curtain wall in the early 16th century.
The most prominent remaining feature of the West Sussex castle is the gatehouse tower, which still stands to almost its full height; a window, and floor joist holes are clearly visible. Beyond it are the foundations of what is believed to have been the living quarters and a guardhouse. The original gatehouse appears to have converted into a single tower at some point in the 12th century; another three metres were added to its height, while the entrances were blocked up. This increased height would appear to coincide with an increased threat of attack during the reign of King John.
The dressed pillars of an entrance can be identified, but the bulk of the remaining walls now consist of only the basic rough stone infill. Situated to the north of the gatehouse is the original castle motte, its earthen mound rising to a height of some 30 feet. A short distance away is a section of the curtain wall which survives to a height up to 10 foot in places.
Like most castles of their time, there is also a small church located next to the entrance; originally constructed for the castles inhabitants, it remains in use to this day to service the spiritual needs of the local population of this West Sussex location.
