Penstemon cuttings
Hello All,
Can someone give me some advice on taking Penstemon cuttings? I've read somewhere that I can take shoot cuttings (about 3" long) at this time of year - is this true, and if so, what do I do with them over the winter? (keep them inside/outside/cold frame?) Thanks for any help, Nick |

Thanks for any help, Nick Yes you can take cuttings now cut just below a leaf joint ....remove all but the top 2 leaves ......dip in rooting compound .......and put into pots of mix of compost and sand .........put the pots onto a layer of wet paper in a seed tray and cover with prophagating lid keep in a warmish dark place for about 3 weeks ensuring they do not dry out and have slight ventilation and you should have rooted cuttings which can be kept in a frost free greenhouse overwinter or on a windowsill |
