Hot Pepper

 Hot peppers are perennial plants with varying structures. They can be herbaceous or shrub-like but are generally branching with green-brown stems and simple oval leaves. The plants produce flowers with five teeth (petals) which are usually white in color. Chilli pepper plants can reach heights in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 m (1.6–4.9 ft) tall and although they are perennial species, they are commonly grown as annuals, with fruit being harvested for one growing season. Chilli peppers may also be referred to as hot peppers or hot chillis.
