Some trees can live for over 3000 years, so if you plant a number of smaller trees in your front or backyard, the plant can last for generations if the soil around your house remains healthy. Just like those giant Redwoods in California have lived for hundreds and some even a couple of thousand years.
There are other perennial plants you can plant in your backyard, like orchids and grasses. Another example, are ferns that can grow inside and outside your home, can last for years, and some fern species do not need much watering.
Structural perennial plants are specially designed for the plant to adapt to living year by year. The structures include rhizomes, bulbs, tubers, woody crowns, strongly and firmly in order to transfer nutrients to the plant.
