Apologies if it isn't clear enough but can anyone ID this? It's in youngest's garden and she'd like me to propagate it.

    Rhododendron. 

    Should have added - you can layer them to get new plants, if you can find a suitable stem near the base  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Rhododendron. Best way to take cuttings is by layering it, taking a side shoot and pegging it down and letting it root while still attached to the parent plant.

    Have a look at this info from the RHS and scroll down to propagating:
