    Take a cutting about 3 -5 inches long. Nip off the flower if it is in bud. Dip the end into hormone rooting powder if you have any. Fill a small pot with a mixture of compost and either sharp sand or perlite or vermiculite. This is to make the compost free draining. Pop the cutting into the pot close to a side. Do this multiple times, about four cuttings to a pot. Water. Put somwhere shady but warm. Keep moist. Can take a few weeks to root. Check weekly by gently pulling on the cutting. If rooted pot up individually into small pots of compost. Remove any flower buds if they appear. You want the plant to concentrate on roots and leaves, not flowers.

    and don't despair if only a few root out of a dozen, sometimes that happens!
