Beginner Gardening: my first hydrangea cutting experiment, 1 by pirl

I'm so very happy for you. The roots will develop all along the stem (just like coleus cuttings) and when you look at the roots again in a month or two you'll be stunned.

Some people give such dire predictions for hydrangea cuttings taken at any time other than June or July but I've done it from March to November with great success.

Keep up the good work! You're doing great.


Someone in the northwest sent me many cuttings (all rooted) in December of 2005. Here's one - a variegated lacecap, Mariesii - photo taken February 2006. Next I'll post a photo I took last week of the same cutting, now a lush plant.
