Landscape Value:<br />
<strong>Little</strong> <strong>Rebel</strong> ® will be effective as a small shrub in the landscape, whether<br />
massed or planted in small groupings. Its densely arranged, blood-red winter<br />
stems are a welcome addition to the prairie landscape, where foliage is absent<br />
for 6 months of the year. In summer, its medium green foliage is an effective<br />
contrast with purple ninebarks and golden spireas.<br />

Propagation: Cuttings from established plants. Propagation by license only.<br />

Sales Potential:<br />
As a dense compact plant, <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Rebel</strong> ® is distinct from other Tatarian dog<br />
woods such as Morden Amber and Prairie Fire. It offers improved winter<br />
hardiness over Kelsey, a dwarf selection of Redosier dogwood.<br />
