Capsicum annuum is the wild ancestor of numerous cultivated sweet peppers and chili varieties. It exhibits a diverse array of fruit shapes, colors, sizes, and levels of capsaicin, which determines the heat intensity. The plant features green foliage and typically produces white flowers, though some may have a hint of purple. Although it is a woody perennial, it is predominantly cultivated as an annual in the UK due to challenges in surviving the colder months.
