beckygardener,
Dwarf Varieties are a Creeper or Trailing-Type Morning Glory. They are not a climber-but will climb if they attach to something. They are usually grown as a ground cover, underneath climbing-type MGs, in containers and hanging baskets, or just 'where ever' you want them to grow. The blooms are about 3" to 3 1/2". Some will have variegated foliage and some will not. The SunSmile series is Variegated and the Carol series is not. There are other types of creepers, but I don't have the names of them all in front of me. the most popular is the Sunsmile.
Sunsmile will have a Picotee edge, or slight-picotee edge. There is not 'True' Purple Dwarf that I am aware of, even though I have gotten some before that were from cross-pollination, but they did not grow back True.

Another type of short climbing MG is a Platycodon-Flowered Type that climbs to 5' or 6'.

Here is a photo of one of my Dwarf Creepers from last year that is a Lilac color.
