Anyone know how to propagate Honey Bush?

Mesilla Park, NM

Ours just started to bloom and the buds look great. I would love to get a couple more plants for different parts of my yard. Anyone have success in propagating this one?

Thanks for any help.

I've planted several hundred seed over the past few months and they are relatively easy to germinate. Apparently you can also do them by cuttings but they are succeptible to boytritis so use a fungicide or a rooting hormone with fungicide in it.

Thanks growin,

This is the first time it blooms here, but I found a couple of seeds from a trade. I think it's time to try them out. How did you sow them? if you don't mind me asking.

Thanks again for the info and will be looking for seed pods on mine now. it only has two buds/flowers, but they should produces some I hope. THe birdfeeder is right near this plant, I wonder if the birds will eat the seeds?

I straight planted the seed and kept moist. They were quite easy. Hopefully your seed will come up from your plant.
