Sharon,

As you know, I have purple passion vines. I can't imagine that one would be much different than the other, other than the flowers they produce. (Listen to me sounding like I know what I'm talking about!) When I take cuttings, I just cut about a foot of vine from the new growth. Then I stick that cut end into the dirt. If there are leaves close to the cut end, I remove those. Otherwise, into the dirt it goes. I've been plugging cuttings into my cat house and they still look good. I haven't checked for roots, but it's been over a week since some of them went into the cage and everything is still alive. A bit "leaf chewed", but alive. I'd love to trade you some of my unknown at this moment purple for some of your gorgeous Lady Margarets. As for shipping them, you might want to start with a smaller cutting, say 8-10 inches, and put a little soil around them, wrap them in saran wrap and gently tape it closed.

I'd be willing to try and send you some to see if they survive the trip. Dmail me your address if you're interested.

Janet
