I don't actually know, but I can pass on a tip based on experience: don't plant sweet and hot peppers together, as they can cross-pollinate, which means you can (and I did) get a crop of what I like to call 'Russian Roulette' peppers, where you can prepare what you think are sweet peppers for a salad, and one bite tells you that they do, indeed, look like sweet peppers, but have the fiery bastardness of the Scotch Bonnet peppers you planted them next to. And the effect is amusingly random; the next plant might have sweet peppers on it.
