Mine got pretty dormant during Dec-Feb, but then started waking up again.  I
have used a q-tip on them, pretending to be a bee, and had a few peppers in
the winter/very early spring.  Mostly it just sits there like a giant
houseplant and starts blooming like crazy in March.  This spring, by the
time I put it out, it was covered in peppers.
