Monocarpic plants are those that reproduce generatively only once per lifespan, and then die.
Annual plants last one season, in which they seed and die, whereas biennials flower, seed and die in their second season.
All monocarpic perennials spend more than a year in a vegetative stage before flowering once and then dying.
Monocarpic perennials are mostly herbs and shrubs.
The length of the vegetative period can be highly variable between plant species, from strictly biennial to long-lived monocarpic perennials.
