Salvias
Quick growing with spikes of flowers that attract bees and butterflies, salvias are some of the most versatile garden shrubs. The many varieties come in a range of flowering colors and shrub sizes.
These are definitely worth growing from cuttings as planting loads of them is the best way to make a real splash in a garden. Most varieties can be grown from cuttings in spring.
Vines
Taking cuttings of vines usually requires taking a long piece of new growth in spring and summer around 4-6 inches long and planting in a pot so that the soil covers half the stem. Try these popular options in your garden.
Honeysuckle
Given a framework to climb up, honeysuckle will give its best in full sun or partial shade and will produce intricate blooms that have a mesmerizing aroma in summer. Flowers come in pale yellow, cream, pink, orange and red and are pollinator magnets.
You can’t beat honeysuckle for growth and fragrance with an occasional feeding and well-draining soil.
Clematis
Producing beautiful large flowers in early spring and summer, clematis is worth the wait of propagating. This vigorous vine is easy to grow from cuttings and needs space to grow and climb (unless you choose a more compact variety). They like the cooler weather best and need shading in warmer climates.
