    I suggest anytime from late summer onwards. You can continue to take cuttings in to Autumn too but use hard wood areas of the bush.

    As for Pinks, definitely not late. It’s the perfect time to take cuttings now right through to early autumn time.

    I've just doen some dianthus cuttings. Definitely not too late - if anything,  a perfect time  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
