Description

Chilli plants are perennial, but most often grown as an annual in Western Sydney.

In a frost free area, they can be left in the ground through winter.

In areas of frost, cover to prevent damage or grow in a pot and bring the pot under cover in a sunny spot for winter.

In the second and subsequent years, the fruit gets progressively smaller.

It is a good idea to wear gloves when handling the seed of chili fruit.
