Osteospermum Cuttings?
Hello 
I've bought two beautiful Osteospermum plants for my Grandad's grave. But before I put them on his grave and the rabbit feast on them, I'd like to take a few cuttings. How would I go about it? I'm confused as to where to make the cut as it seems a lot, if not all of the new shoots seems to have flowers or buds on them and I was told not to take cuttings from shoots which have flowers/buds? Any help would be much appreciated Cate

Remove the buds with your finger and thumb, and take the cutting as normal.

I took flowering cuttings off my osteospermums earlier last month I just took any flowers and buds off and they have rooted fine.
