Scott you live in my area, you might want to do what I've been doing. if you want to take cuttings, just be sure to let the cuttings callous for 2 weeks before planting. We are getting a lot of rain now so if you plan to root anything around this time, stick the cuttings in pots with half perlite half potting soil and "Do Not Water" at all until the first four sets of leaves are out. I keep mine in a covered lanai this time of the year, it gets morning sun but no rain.

You can keep the "well rooted" cuttings in pots set them in full sun spring to fall (you'll be rewarded with more blooms) but before the first frost keep them in covered lanai. I have south facing lanai and they stay there all winter with little or no water at all while dormant. since they are in a covered lanai I don't need to cover them at all winter time.

Beautiful blooms, reminds me of my Hausten White plumeria.

The mother plant will Branch out and if you trim it to 3 feet tall, next spring, you will have multiple branches from where you cut it and more possibility of blooms at eye level Lovey dubby
