Hi, you're a bit too late now to take softwood or basal cuttings, which should be taken in spring or early summer, however you can take semi ripe cuttings in late summer or autumn, but you will need some bottom heat for this method, if you haven't got an electric propagator, I would wait till next spring, you can also sow seeds in containers in spring, in a cold frame, you can also divide them in spring, Derek.

2-3" tip cuttings any time now i would've thought, preferably from a non flowering shoot

Thankyou
