Linda,

There are a few dwarf varieties on the market; I've seen Ruellia simplex 'Southern Star Blue' and 'Southern Star White'. Sometimes nursery tag names are reversed, i.e. Blue Star/Star Blue.

I submitted a proposal to add Southern Star Blue to the database so if it's approved it will show up later today http://garden.org/plants/searc...

You are very welcome. Your photo is lovely so I hope you will upload it to the database when the entry is created.

Whistling Welcome to the club! I find that the older I get ... the more my mind seems to be playing tricks on me. Rolling on the floor laughing But, I've seen some nurseries reverse names on the tags; Southern Star Blue/Southern Blue Star ... so I'd blame it on the tag. Hilarious!
