Micha, I just got that locally, CA. I did manage to get a cutting to work,but now it's a three footer or I would mail it. Have you ever tried cuttings in the mail? I would be more than willing to try!

I would LOVE a cutting in the mail if you have the time and want to do it. What are you looking for in trade? I mostly have tropicals (on my trade list) and a few new things but not listed yet, mostly perennials.

Oh, and I also have lilac that I can probably take cuttings off of. Can I do it now or will it prevent it from blooming next year?

I would be most willing to send a cutting. I just sent Cajun, (the poor woman asked for seeds, and did get them) two baby off shoots from my pennyroyal and watercress, in their original dirt, added peat moss and moisture in ziplocks blown up with air. I can't wait to see if the plants make it!!

I know they say to take hard or soft cuttings, I can never remember which, so I have tried and successfully done both. Which would you prefer? I can certainly send both.

I have a light lilac and would love a dark one. I can't imagine taking cuttings would prevent a bloom, well, of course, except for the branch that would be now in my yard, lol!! Will scoot over to email and send you a page to peek at. We might as well take advantage of the box sending and mail what ever we both want from each other?
