Varying Chillies

I am growing some chilli plants and would like to know if they should look the way they do. They are different types, but the one on the left is large leafed and open, the one in the middle is tight, bordering on stunted and the one on the right is a bit of both. Is this how they should be?

    Some of mine get to about 1ft or so (Superchili and Yellow Wax) Jalapeno can get to about 3ft
    So different varieties do have different growth habits

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    @Pete.8 is right -different varieties have different growth habits.

    Mine are de cayenne and resemble the one on the left. A couple of mine (I've got 8 in total) are taller but they aren't as bushy.

    Thanks, I’ll just have to wait and see how they develop. I had a chilli plant given to me, it was from Asda, it was in flower when I got it, so I didn’t know what it looked like in the earlier stages, but with these looking so different.........🤔
