Hi C-H's,

In my experience the species pubescens does. I would not bother 
overwintering C. annuum unless there was something very special about 
the plant. C. chinense seem very liable to aphid problems indoors; so 
I would probably give those plants a good spraying with soap solution 
alternating with insecticide every few days, for a couple of weeks, 
before taking them indoors.

Do not be too alarmed by leaf drop in the Fall.
