Default How to propagate ceanothus?

I have this beautiful ceanothus tree -
it is very large, and seems to be full of blossom
for most of the year.
(It is already starting to flower.)

But I've been trying to get cuttings from it for several years,
with complete lack of success.
I tried a month or so ago, with small cuttings in a 50% sand-peat mixture,
in covered pots on an electric warming tray from Lidl.
But they have already started to lose their few leaves.

Can anyone offer me advice in my predicament?
