I grow Autumn Green Calabrese under my netting. My hoops are a bit taller, but it doesn't get anywhere near the top, on my soil, so should be ok  :)

I wouldn't worry too much about how high the plant grows because by the time it's pushing the net and vulnerable to butterflies laying their eggs the heads are nearing ready and the crop beats the caterpillars.
