It's gorgeous! Is it a new variety...I've never heard of it before.

Andy, this was new to one of our nurseries here just last year. I bought two of them and then decided I would love another one, but when I went back there were none. Apparently they had trouble selling them and decided not to stock any more of them. I've had trouble finding them ever since!!!

It sounds like you need to make more from cuttings. It's always nice to have back up plants.

Yes I've never really done much in the way of cuttings before. I've certainly taken cuttings of the old reliables like Crotons and Coleus. I might just have to give it a whirl with this Mussaenda.

I would definitely take cuttings. :>)
