just for interest, not only have these Penstemen rooted well, but some are attempting to flower. These were all cuttings in a jar taken mid August!, vigorous aren't they?... The 5 on the box will be in the ground today the others (now 6 as a further cutting rooted and I have just potted up) I will overwinter as cuttings
I don't have oleanders anymore, but when I had them in my yard on the Texas Gulf Coast, I know for a fact they root easily in water. Take cuttings from medium hard wood.
These coleus rooted in a little over a week for me. I'll wait until I have more roots before setting into dirt though. So often in the past my attempts to root coleus have ended in rotted stems. This time it worked! I think the difference was I cut longer pieces from the mother plant this time.

The newer sedum cuttings have started to root.
The penstemon haven't rooted yet but they're still alive.
This is what the salvia cuttings are doing. No roots but new shoots.
