Default C.Pubescens and Summer

Hi,

I have four different varieties of C.Pubescens growing for the first time. The little cold snaps here don't seem to worry the seedlings. They're coming on strong. Only a few weeks till they're transplanted.

To this end, everything I read mentions their cold tolerance and Andes heritage. My summers are fierce. especially the afternoons. From what I gather it would be best to plant them in a spot out of the afternoon sun, where they can grow into perennial bushes.

Does this sound right? Should I shelter them from the heat unlike peppers in general. And do you think they will fruit for me in the first year? If not I'll confine them to pots that I can relocate in winter.

Thanks.
