Why we like to over winter peppers

heytony · February 28, 2016

I overwintered a potted red tree habanero this year - and I usually kill any plant that I bring indoors from neglect. It's doing wonderfully even with the neglect and being stuck in a darkish corner for the winter. I kept mine at about 5ft tall including the pot. Looks a lot like a regular house plant. The pods are pretty small and seedy, and not very hot, but they have a really nice flavor. I love dropping half a pepper into a lager or light ale during summer.
