Hi Dana-

elfin thyme
sedum acre 'utah'
mulligan mint
corsican mint
scotch moss
irish moss
erodium reichardii 'flore pleno'
dwarf armeria maritima 'ruby'
dianthus 'tiny rubies'
bellium minutum(mini daisy)
leptinella(several differnt kinds)(look like mini ferns)
sedum 'blue ridge'
mini keilworth ivy
pretty much go to the stepables website, or jeepers creepers, and they have tons of tiny groundcovers. Also check out Miniforest.com. They have some neat stuf, too, including lots of the tiny trees
Here is a partial list of what I have in my mini garden :
Artic Birch
Leptospermum
Elfin thyme
Corsician
blue fescue
goldilocks
dragons blood sedum
scotch moss
ginkgo
whooly thyme
Dwarf river rush
aster
japonica
little mini bearded iris ( hope it blooms ? )

and lots of sedums to many to mention
I have an adorable little boxwood called "Buxus microphylla ‘Kingsville Dwarf’ ", it grows 6" x 6" at the most.
Mini hostas are great. One's called 'Mouse Ears'
Yellow Star Grass
any alpine/rock garden plants
violas
