    Lyn, Im not overly bothered if the campanula comes up in another colour, am not too confident with cuttings, mine seem very hit and miss unless its the really easy stuff.

    It looks similar to yours but the flower petals are more pointy, yoirs is such a pretty blue image

    VS, this one is in part shade, only just getting the sun on it now image

    Ok bekkie, some of mine are in the shade too. They dont seem fussy.

    They are not cuttings as such, if you look right down at the base of your plant there are lots of little ones shooting up, dig carefully down a wee bit and each bit will separate with its own roots on, you can put 2 or 3 in a flower pot, put in the shade and they will be up in a week. I like to overwinter in a green house or somewhere frost free.

    Hey! Just remembered, you have done this

     the geraniums its just the same.

    I was just about to say that sounds the same as the gerainiums! Ok, im sure i could manage that then thanks Lyn image



    I was imagining what ive seen Carol Klien do on tv, when she cuts the roots of something up! image

    Oh gosh no! I couldnt do that, although I have some gorgeous penstemons that someone said were easy from cuttings, so I will have a go. 

     

    Hopefully some will be up for grabs, if they take.

    I can do salvia hotlips and erysimum bowles mauve cuttings if anyone wants them.  I will wait until they have rooted before i post them.

    I have just collected seeds from Dianthus Deltoides (maiden pinks) rockery plants, grows to 10cm 4 inches

     

    I cant remember who offered the geranium Roxanne roots, anyone remember.

    Hi Gardenmaiden and Lyn,

    I sent out the achillea this morning. I forgot to ask for your name GM so I addressed it to your user name, sorryimage

    If they don't thrive, let me know as I have a few more that I'm bringing on.

    Lyn, I think it was Rosemummy who had Roxanne and psilostemon geraniums.

    Wearside, England.
