I purchased a couple of cotoneasters, "Tom Thumb" and "Little Dipper". The first thing I did when I got them home was to rip the tags off. (I know, kind of dumb.) One has smaller leaves than the other but I do not remember which is which. Can someone please help?
 
A lot of us rip of the tags so our spouses won't know what we paid for our plants.
Tom Thumb has been around for decades but I don't know Little Dipper. You should check with the nursery you bought them at or google it.
 
Little Dipper has cascading decumbant growth
Sometimes planted at the top of a wall
and growing down over the edge, but not out of control like a vine.
This one has the larger leaves of the two.
