Hi everyone,

I would like to increase my stock of Muehlenbeckia (sp?) complexa, just
by a
plant or two. Has anyone on this ng tried taking cuttings - or is
layering
the best way to proceed? What time of year should it be attempted?

I would be very grateful for any advice.

Ray took a long piece from the front of our house about three weeks ago,
cut
it into short pieces and most of them have struck. Ours is going great
guns
after about two or three years and the one we've seen in the Abbey
Gardens,
Tresco is very effective.
For those who don't know the plant, a Google image search will kick up a
pic
taken by Trevena Cross Nursery of the one in Tresco.

Sombody gave me one this year, is it worth growing then? it looked for all
the world like an evergreen russian vine! so I kind of lost interest (or is
my muelenbeckia present a different one :~)
