[CH] Pepper plants - how long do they live?

Hi again folks!

Went into the greenhouse at the w/e to pick some more peppers (got quite a
few, and picked one ripe scotch bonnet type that was about the best damned
chile I ever ate!). Now, some of the plants have finished fruiting, and are
dying back (these are probably cayennes or similar - all but two plants are
'cayenne' looking, the other two being scotch bonnet/Caribbean hab or
something).

Will any of these live to flower and fruit again next year, or are they
grow-once and die plants? I'm wondering how to treat them if they will grow
again.

Thanks folks! Oh, and feel free to answer by e-mail if you like ',;~}~


Cheers!
