Just got this in the sale, am going to plant it up in a bigger pot till next year.  It still has a few flowers on it and leaves - Can I take cuttings from it ?

I remember Alan Titchmarsh featuring this plant when he presented GW.  He said it was not that hardy and to ensure you had plants for the following year you should take cuttings. Usual way, just below a leaf node. I had one and didn't take the cuttings. It lasted through one winter but not the next. Needless to say I won't be making that mistake again :)

I have had one for a long time in a pot, I always put it in the greenhouse in the winter, mines in there now.

You can also pot it up and put it in the greenhouse or a frost free shelter.

Its a bit late to take cuttings now Hosta.



You got there just before me Widge :D

Saw a wee snippet about it on GW - they put it in the greenhouse for the winter.

Mine is already re-potted and tucked away in the greenhouse.

I also took some cuttings - if they survive, brill - if not it,  no matters.

Thanks everyone.
