Default Does anyone know if it's possible to take cuttings from Chrysanthemum frutescens?

Hi,
I bought a daisy tree last week but on the way home it fell over in
the car and the heads snapped off.

I've put it is a bucket of water and it still lookes healthy.

Its name on the card is "Marguerite" , "Chrysanthemum frutescens" but
it was labeled up as a "daisy tree".

Is there any way that I can take some sort of a cutting off it to get
it back to life?

Thanks

If there are good young non flowering shoots they root very easily, just cut
them below a leaf node, strip 2 or 3 leaves off the bottom, insert them
around the edges of a pot of fairly open general purpose compost, water in,
cover with a polythene bag, place in good light - not full sun and they'll
root in a couple of weeks or so. Most softwood cuttings will work this way.
