Imperial Masterpiece
I got mine to the age of three years.
Plant them in pots, get them indoors for winter, a window sill will do just fine. Treat against spider mites, treat again, treat again. Then in spring put them back outdoors.
All in potting soil.
They can drop their foliage, but they'll leaf out again in a couple of weeks. That's when the spider mites get them.
-5°C is deadly, anything above will only turn them purple or black, the peppers too, but they'll change color again to red or green if you harvest them and bring them indoors.
Peppers do tend to lose some vigor if you keep them alive for over a year, but a friend of mine had them grow the most vigorous in year 2.
