Currently growing: dwarf Orinoco, blue Java, lady finger, manzano, lasiocarpa, velutina, raja puri, Viente cohol, California gold, dwarf Brazilian.
I saw your post and wanted to share a photo I took of some dwarf plants for another member. Photo is from 2.7.2016
I pulled the plants out of the basement for the shot.

All plants are mature plants for my zone and will handle cooler temps of a basement or protected garage for the winter.
They will not handle cold temps... these are not cold hardy like a Basjoo.

Plants shown in Small Bordelons(not dwarf) rear, Truly Tiny in center. Little Prince on each side

Dwarfs for me are easy to manage/overwinter indoors and have a small footprint so you can tuck them in your landscape design. Great knee high visual interest.

Great puppers also.

I do not have any to share at the moment but I wanted to stress how easy they are to care for since you were looking.
