My husband wouldn't know how to take a single cutting, never mind a hundred! I hope he has a high success rate with them Amy ... :o)

He does have a high success rate and has become good at it its not that difficult ,he nips off the top growing point approx 4" takes off the lower leaves leaving then dips them in rooting powder and thats it , no special treatment , we give some to sell on our horticultural sales table they always go down well ...

We do not fare too well with these lovely plants not sure why, although Huskers red performs for us every year.....
