So impressed. I need to try more cuttings. I was amazed afte watching carol Klein then running out and trying it ...and mostly all taken. When I buy plants I take cuttings first before planting. Thinking need to keep trying more and more. As yet I have not tried enough !
Not so sure about 'expert' Kate I just bung 'em in and hope they grow
I will be taking my Puts Folly fuchsia cuttings sometime in the next few days - I need 24 for my basket tree baskets - so I will take 48 if I can - that will give me plenty of plants to play with
You made me smile discodave and bunny . I don't want anyone to feel inadequate - just because I have an obsession for taking cuttings and growing plants for my OTT front garden I just like people to know it can be done -no mystery to it
Today I have taken 2 cuttings off a broken branch that was on a newLy bought Cornus Midwinter Fire, and walking round garden found a wind damaged bit of Clematis cartmanii 'Joe' so nothing ventured nothing gained - have stuck those in a pot - managed to get 2, covered in bag and popped on some heat.
Not very good at cuttings, so will try,even if wrong time of year Is it worth a punt??
Nothing to lose Rosa. I would expect success with the cornus, never had any luck with clematis at any time. Wonder if I could do the same with a variegated rhamnus that broke under the weight of snow.
