I've just planted some of these, are they reliably hardy (West Sussex), or should I be taking lots of cuttings instead?
They're flowering beautifully already.
Hardy-you will be ok
-they do get a bit straggly and woody after a few years-that is the time to start taking cuttings.
Ah great, I have a while to practice taking cuttings off them then! Thanks.
