Perennials and evergreens(sempervirens) are two different things.
Dales's first post was not in clear, good concordance with his topic title.
Perennials are herbaceous,though some show shrubbery aspects.

Evergreens (sempervirens) are always shrubbs or trees.
His question was why perennials died for a period and then grew back again from the roots.
His question was not about evergreens at all.

It was Hydra who wanted to know a more technical term for evergreens.
Loose from Dale's first post's question.

Alex Williams ,that is a nice piece of mythology!
