Does one have to replant chilli plants every year or does the bush actually stay as a kind of shrub?

Hi there. It depends on where you live, if you get frost in your area you will probably have to replant every year, if not then there is a good chance that your plants could keep producing chillies for a few years. You can also keep them in pots and overwinter them indoors, this will keep them alive even if you get frost in your area.
