Have you ever enjoyed a freshly picked hot pepper? With your own plant in the garden you can harvest many tasty pods with conscientious care. If this is then still several years, the bad conscience when eating out. After all, you can look forward to the fruits again next year.
Is the hot pepper aged one or more years?

However, many breeders have long known from their own experience that it is possible for almost all varieties to cultivate them the following year. So do not necessarily rely on the details of the seed packaging or nursery. Just try it yourself.
