In good soil with adequate watering, sweet peppers grow about 2ft to 2-1/2 ft tall (60+ cm).

It does say they are dwarf so I guess they will be shorter than Trillium's ones, which are the 'standard sized' ones.

 The info indicates to plant them 18 ins apart, so I would reckon on that as their maximum height, which you can reduce by keeping them bushy through pinching out.

Best I can do ---hope that helps

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it chillies and not sweet peppers that you pinch out? I recall hearing from time to time that it reduces yield for sweet peppers while increasing it for chillies.

Oops, sorry, didn't notice 'mini' in the description. Must clean the specs.
