Zauschneria

Hi everyone.  Bit of advice needed.

I stupidly planted this Zauschneria 'Western Hills' in a really bad spot.  It actually flowered nicely last year but winter has taken its toll and I have bitten the bullet and decided to move it (hopefully saving as much as I can).

 There are some pretty strong new shoots coming up.  Would it be possible to use one of those as a cutting and start a new plant that I can grow on?

 Thanks in advance.

    No reason why not, perfectly good idea.

    Not a plant I know, but having Googled, it might be just the thing for the very dry end of our garden - one for the Possibles list.  Thanks image

    Dovefromabove - while it lasted in my garden it was beautiful.  Lovely silvery green foliage and it flowered right through until winter.  I think the key is good drainage and lot of sun.  I read somewhere than it can even grow on almost pure grit.
