Million Bells from last year

MeomyeMeomye Posts: 944

I have a couple of million bells plants that have managed to survive in pots from last year but they are looking very 'leggy,' altough they do have green healthy new growth at the ends. Do I leave them alone, or should I take cuttings?

    I would repot in fresh compost and cut them hard back - they don't usually survive our winters but they are perennials so if you cut them back they'll grow nice and bushy and flower again. 

    You could try making cuttings from the bits you prune off.

    Thanks Dove, what do I do with the cuttings, should I put them into water or hormone powder and pot them up?
