Monk's Pepper is a popular honey plant and a late bloomer that brings autumn color to the garden. It can grow up to three meters high and wide outdoors. The hand-shaped, lance-shaped leaves, arranged in groups of five to seven, emit an intense peppery-spicy aroma. The leaves turn yellow in autumn. The German name refers to the pepper shape of the fruit and its use in medieval monasteries. Monks and nuns took it to maintain their vows of chastity and suppress carnal desires. In Italy, it is still customary to sprinkle the paths to the monasteries with chasteberry blossoms for novices. In the wine regions of the Mediterranean, you can still often find wine baskets woven from very flexible and resilient chasteberry twigs. Chasteberry is winter hardy up to -15° Celsius. A certain winter protection is still recommended. The plant will shoot again from wooden parts at the next hearing. Potted plants should overwinter at a temperature between 0° and 10° Celsius.
