But at Bunnings they're $28 each. I've tried taking cuttings using hormone

What "soil" are you using?
what preparation did you give it?
Hard/old or new/fresh wood?
Did you bury a node? not just a length?

apps if egg sucking

I'm wondering if layering may be the way to go.
All it is going to cost is maybe a few flowers this year.

When we do stuff like this, we just make up a poly box of
soil/potting/seedraising/??? and fill it full of cuttings and see what
happens, but I've never tried Hydrangeas or the like.
