How To Take Cuttings / Propagate Perennials And Shrubs

Cuttings are a great way to propagate plants but also enable us to protect our stock of the more tender perennials through the harshest winters.
Today, I am propagating Lavender, Rosemary, Penstemons, Veronicastrum, Clematis, Pittosporum and Brachyglotis. I show you how to collect your cuttings and how to prepare them for rooting and then how to care for your cuttings for the first 4 - 6 weeks.
It’s difficult to know how to express myself on social media when there is so much sorrow and devastation in the world we live in, particularly in Ukraine. My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Ukraine.
