Anita,
I have only overwintered hot peppers on small compact plants simply because
they were easier to dig up and pot. I have been successful with a Chinese,
a Thai, a native here called Chiltipin, and a New Orleans pepper. I would
dig them up sometime during Oct. after the weather cooled down for the
fall. I grew them outdoors on my porch unless a freeze was predicted, then
I brought them in until the freezing temps were over, usually a day or two,
then put them back outside. They face south and get plenty of sun and
warmth. Our winter can bring temps in the 70's quite regularly in between
freezes.
Hope this helps you.  Cindy in TX
