Greetings

Some years ago, a couple of friends in FL grew some perennial peppers (4'
bushes, tiny pale purple, white, yellow, mottled peppers) that I thought
were strictly ornamental, until Andy made barbecue sauce with the evil
things and used it on ribs.  Until then I hadn't known what they meant when
they said the peppers would make a mockingbird fly backward (I was so young
and naive then).  Now the question: are there any perennials available that
will survive outside in the zone 5 winters of north central OH?  Or if
potted, partially protected, in an unheated greenhouse, perhaps?  Sources?
