Last September/October we took an 18" cutting from a friend's rampant plant
in Sheffield. Not knowing any better I just trimmed the bottom 6" off and
stuck both bits in a jar of water on the kitchen window sill. To my suprise
both rooted very quickly.

I suppose there are different species and cultivars and I've got the
bog standard ordinary one given to me as a "twig" with just the
beginnings of roots bursting out of the nodes on one end. I think I
may have given it a brief time in a pot but I assure you it got rough
treatment. The person who has one of it's "brudders" was around
yesterday and he told me he had got so fed up with his (he has quite a
small garden) that he has got rid. Mine is horribly untidy in winter
but it's by an open entrance to the street and wee toddlers get
entranced while their mothers wait patiently.

You know what? Dogs pee there as well, that corner always stinks.
Does anyone know anything better than Artemisia? Oops! I think I'd
better start another thread as I'm sure I've lost half of you.

Catch you later.
