A potted Jalapeno pepper plant will live for years as long as you keep it out of a frost or freeze. I have bell pepper plants in 5 gallon containers that are 3 years old. Grow your own.

I never considered doing peppers this was “winterizing” so to speak. Gets awful cold in my neck of the woods in the winter.

Yup I dug our jalapenos up and put into pots and into the greenhouse this last weekend. Not sure I'm going to do the Big Bertha peppers. I might but I'm running out of room in the greenhouse. It's a small cow panel greenhouse I built years ago.

we have plants in pots we bring into the garage when it freezes here , several of them are quite few years old , of course none are peppers ,but it sounds like a great idea ...

I don't in cold climates with out a little daily warmth that it would work as the plant will ripen what has set but will not bloom. Certainly if "Topped" the plant will go into hibernation, returning in the spring as long as it is kept indoors.

Here is basically what I did.
