Default Dwarf chard?

This fall, I bought two pots of multi-coloured chard from Home Depot to grow over the winter. One looked normal size and the other was more dense and had smaller leaves which I assumed would grow bigger. However, the chard with the smaller leaves never did catch up to it's friend. I remember reading both tags when I brought them home and wondering if one was some kind of dwarf, but although the tags were different, both indicated that they wouldn't be huge plants and I tossed the tags when I potted the plants into large containers.

I harvested some leaves to cook for supper the other night, feeling a bit duped that the smaller one didn't fill out as expected. The leaves are small, but very substantial.

The interesting thing is that when I accidentally broke a leaf off yesterday and ate it, the taste was out of this world. Lovely and sweet and tasty! I need seeds of this to put in salads!

Thinking that I would find out all about Dwarf Chard on the net, I Googled it - and found nothing. Apparently, it doesn't exist - or does it?
