(reasonably) warm weather they've now reached about 5 inches in height
and I wondered if it would be OK to nip the tops off to stop them growing

Oops!

If growing bush fashion for garden decoration then by all means pinch out
the leading shoot. However the leading shoot usually dies away and it is
the side shoots which grow on. It is when the plants are still quite young
that you pinch out the leading shoot to encourage side shoots.

Just for a bit of colour and scent near the windows. Never had this problem
before, they usually get about an inch, realise it's a bit chilly and sit
there until spring.
