hi Cristina. Thompson & Morgan, and Van Meuwens, do plug plants of the Bidens in Spring. The helichrysum, in both "gold" and "silver" are easily found in most GCs, Homebase, etc, in Spring, usually in the sections for trailing plants for hanging baskets and containers. :-))

Hi Sandra. I'm going to take lots of cuttings from it tomorrow, but don't really know where i'll keep them over winter. :-))

thats the trouble david i would love a greenhouse but no room,so im not bothering with cutting this year, was a nighmare last year, almost lost everything,

Me, neither now! :-(( Yes, a nightmare, as, by the time I get up the stairs and into my bed, have negotiated a jungle of cuttings and plants!! The blinds will not close properly because of tendrils, numerous pots get kicked/fallen over, often more than once a day, both by the kids, and me - LOL!! Am currently sleeping with about 20 ballerinas - Ooops! Am meaning fuschias, of course (too much info!!!LOL). Am thinking of making my own, customised, greenhouse from soft drinks bottles, in Spring, as seen, and featured, here!!! :-))))
