I took several cuttings of Amistad last year which was lucky as my plant succumbed to frost. This looks SO much easier so I'll be doing that this year. Thanks for making my life easier
No-one shows in the video what to do next! Pot on, but trim out growing tip to encourage bushiness I assume, but how far down? If I have 3 leaf nodes then the tip, do I go down to 2 nodes or one? I often get leggy plants so I don’t think I’m doing it right!! Enjoyed video though…useful tip re.little shoots with flowers! Often v hard to find shoots without any!
Thanks for this video. I thought that this plant was hardy in my zone 7. I will definitely try to overwinter it. You are right. It is in full bloom and we just entered fall. I have tried propagating using info from your channel and had success. Thanks again.
I'm in zone 6b and they've survived for many years. The first hard freeze kills them to the ground, then over the winter the basal leaves start to slowly grow. They shoot up in late February and March, and by April they're blooming. They only survive in the ground, in my experience. The ones I've tried to overwinter in pots have all died.
Just joining you. New to gardening and my home only has two boxwoods. I plan to get cuttings for hydrangeas, lavender and boxwoods this summer/fall. Not sure on the salvia about when to take from the water and plant. Would love to see a video this fall for that. My sister in-law has many flowers so I plan to raid her garden later this summer.
Hello Anya, I live in the states and we have very cold winters. Would these cuttings survive in a dark unheated garage? If I bring them inside should they be in a sunny window?
This is so helpful . Do I have to wait until October to take Amistad cuttings or could I do it earlier ? Also if I root them in water as you have shown what do I do next once they have rooted ? Also should I change the water or leave it until they have rooted ? Thank you
Thank you. I have watched a few of your clips about rooting in water ( different plants). If I do that should I change the water while waiting for them to root or just leave it ? Thanks as ever . You have a fantastic channel. I love your approach to gardening.
Where do you keep the potted up cuttings over winter? Have lots of baby plants from your videos, all just starting to grow, salvias, hydrangea, erigeron etc. But not sure whether to plant them in the garden or or keep them in pots till next spring? If in pots where should I keep them? Thank you for all your help with growing new plants!

Brilliant! This is such a lovely plant, but not cheap to buy so propagating really makes sense.
Great video many thanks xx

They need light and dark garage isn’t a good idea. Indoors might be too warm. How cold does it get?

You can take them earlier

Winter hardy plant just stay outside. Frost hardy are protected in the greenhouse.
Should the outside plants be kept in sun or shade for winter?
Thank UA-cam wery much
