 | | In the nursery trade a dwarf plant is one that is three feet or less in ultimate height. |
 | | There are dwarfs which prefer dense shade, such as holly fern, fatsia, aucuba, dwarf azalea, mahonia, holly malpighia and vinca, while others prefer a sunny exposure, such as junipers, hollies, barberry, pomegranate, crape myrtle, pyracantha, and dwarf natal-plum. |
 | | Some dwarfs which reward the grower with seasonal blooms include: dwarf azalea, cuphea, dwarf sasanqua, dwarf gardenia, dwarf crape myrtle, pomegranate, lantana, japanese purple honeysuckle and Indian hawthorne. |
