Pepper plants grow well in areas with mild climates, and they need full sun life during the day. Some types of pepper plants can be treated like annuals while others can live for years. What is the average height of a pepper plant? The answer may depend on which variety you are talking about.
Pepper plants typically grow between 20 inches and 6 feet tall, but there are a few varieties that can grow taller than 9 feet and some that only grow 6 inches big. It’s important to choose the right variety of pepper for your garden. If you have a lot of space, then you can grow taller varieties. But if you’re limited on space, then you’ll want to choose a short or medium variety.
There is a huge range from the smallest pepper plant that is around 6 inches tall and the biggest pepper plant that can grow up to 10 feet.
