Bishop's Crown Size?
 
This one has conflicting info about the plant size [URL]https://www.google.com/search?q=sweet+cayenne+pepper+plant&biw=1152&bih=553&source=lnms&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjPvpeetevLAhWJ4yYKHYnuCqcQ_AUIBigA&dpr=1.25#q=Bishop%27s+Crown+pepper+plant+size[/URL] The first two results show plant 1.5' tall and the next says 53" tall.

I'm guessing it'll grow 4-6' tall. Have any of you grown them?

Yup. Mine grew to 3-4' tall, 2-3' wide.

It depends on the size of the Bishop's head :)

I am growing them for the first time. I had a couple to eat from a market friend over the summer. It was an odd pepper. All the heat is in the seeds. The flesh tasted like a red bell.

They probably meant 1.5 meters, which is about 5 feet.

Mine have never grown more than about 3 feet, though.

Bishop's Crown and Starfish (very similar) get huge in the right environment. Large leaves, plants almost 6' in the first year. They don't spread all that wide, though.
