This will be my third attempt. Two failures over the winter/spring period. Can someone explain slowly how I can grow cuttings from my bowles mauve this time of year. They are beautiful this year but getting so large I want to start again next Spring.

Thank you hh - I will follow your guide exactly and hope for success this time.
Well so far so good, they all look perky. What is the first sign that they have taken and when do you know when to repot? Thanks.
Verdun,
Done that bit. They have been in for about a week. What is the first sign that they have taken and when do you know when to repot? Thanks.
I found it better to do them when it was a bit cooler, September.
Leave in the pots, pot up in early Spring.
OK so sometime in September I should repot (they are sharing some larger pots at the moment) and stick them in the cold frame for next Spring to plant out??
