It is now mid March ad I have eleven hardwood cuttings with leaves and shoots on them so am delighted that I will not lose my plant. The layering dfid not work, or not so far, but given all the rain I am not surprised. My only problem now is where do I put 11 new shrubs!!! What a lovely problem to have and II feel lots of giveaway plants in the making.
Thanks everyone for the advice and information,I would not have had the confidence to try this without your encouragement.
Thanks Verdun, they are still just little cuttings with shoots, but I will keep them growing on as you suggest. Would it be better to keep them like this until next spring, rather than planting out in the autumn?
