No problem propagating. Just ask your friend for a "dig up plant" next
year. I planted one of these in one corner of the garden a couple of
years ago. This year it's growing happily all round the place. I don't
mind - it's a spring flowerer and dies back nicely as later stuff
comes on so however much of it there is it doesn't get in the way.

thanks for reply Jake. Forgive my ignorance, but what is a 'dig up
plant'? You say next year, so I guess it's too late now and should be
in the dormant phase next year. Around february maybe?
