propagating Rose of Sharon
I have a lovely Rose of Sharon bush and I'd like more. Supposedly this
thing is easy to propagate. What is the best way to start a new plant now (spring). On a related note, I believe one of my gardening books mentioned that it can be propagated from cuttings. What exactly does that entail? Do I just cut off a branch and stick it in the ground? Neil |

Find a plant book in the library and read about cuttings. Let the blooms stay on the bush so the seeds will form and just plant them next years, |

Keep it watered and it will grow. |

Neil If it went to seed last year you should be seeing seedlings underneath. They seed like mad here in Connecticut. |

Neil If you're serious about cloning from a cutting, I'll be glad to send you my method. I regularly clone double pink and mauve plants that our garden club sells. BTW, starting plants from seeds does not guarantee that you'll get a comparable plant or even the same color. John |

I'll have to look around, but i don't recall seeing anything growing around
the base of the plant. Is it possible I have some sort of seedless variety? "GrampysGurl" wrote in message ... I have a lovely Rose of Sharon bush and I'd like more.
