Reply:Yes, I've done it.


However they do need quite a bit of care at the beginning.


Once you've taken the cuttings and prepped them dip them in a hormone rooting powder before potting up. They need a bit of shade and a little warmth to root. I put them the bottom shelf of my greenhouse staging. Keep them watered but not too moist and you should get some good results.

Reply:after it's flowered pot the seeds.
Reply:try dipping cutting into root powder first
Reply:yes,but you'll have to pin them into a pot securely for best part of the summer to let them 'take',then cut off from main plant and grow on until next spring then plant out.





let me know if you need any more help.
Reply:Yes you can but there's a lot of luck to it. I took 5 cuttings from a friends 3 years ago, dipped them in rooting powder and put them straight in the ground. Only 1 has taken, but it is beautiful this year and covered in flowers. It's worth trying and costs you nothing so give it a go and good luck.
