I have several in raised beds in my yard. They will die back during a
freeze, but that only makes them come back bigger and better the following
year. Mine are 10 plus years old. They come back from the original woody
stem, and not via a new seedling.

I was wandering through the shady section of Barton Springs Nursery and
noticed their chile pequin plants. The Grow Green booklet says that
they're perennial only through mild winters. Another site that I
find (www.nhg.com/Images/NativesList.pdf) calls it a "reseeding annual."

Does now seem a reasonable time to purchase chile pequin?
