The ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' are a perennial type of plant (reoccurring every year). They are also an Evergreen, which means that even in the harsh winter climate and lack of sun, the plant's leaves can retain its green color. In addition, the flowers can live through the same weather without dying. This real life logic can be placed into the Pikmin world. The Red Pikmin are shown in ''Pikmin 2'' in a harsh snowy landscape with the Pikmin’s leaf green and bright. The record for the lowest temperature a ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' has endured is 30 degrees Fahrenheit (-1.1 degrees Celsius). ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' are remarkably strong plants, as a result. Mr. Miyamoto must have had this in mind for the Pikmin to be strong and durable creatures. | The ''Chaenostoma cordatum'' are a perennial type of plant (reoccurring every year).
