This is what the plant looked like in the afternoon. I find they easily make seeds, but then it takes a long time for them to produce more flowers, they do grow very slowly!

So, yes, there are dwarf cultivars. But theoretically and practically the dwarf genes can be combined with any normal-size MG. Because the dwarf trait is normally a recessive gene, it will only manifest if both "parents" carry this characteristics either in pure form (homozygotously) or at least 50 % (heterozygotously).
