    My Amistads have just the beginnings of new growth showing. I thought they were late last year but they're even later this year. Cuttings is on the to-do list when there's enough growth.

    I have the Black and Blue which is very similar to Amistad, I’ve only just got tiny shoots, I think the recent rain has brought them on.

    Given the weather so far this season, I've not even looked to see if there's any new growth.

    No sign on mine either and they are in a cold g/h.
    Interestingly, my S. nachtvlinder have all come through the winter, without losing their leaves.

    Lovely, just the time to cut back now.

    That's much further on than mine. I expect they're poised to take off as soon as the weather warms up.
    Nachtvlinder I find is a tough cookie. It spreads underground too, so it can be split easily - no need for cuttings.
