Hi, Anna. Long time, etc. I think Frostweed is always successful in propagating from cuttings. Once she insisted that I take what looked like a mere stick in a styrofoam cup. It was Flame Acanthus. Here's a picture of it after it made it thru the winter and neglect by me.

A few months after that picture was taken I had to remove the Flame Acanthus from the bed and put it in one of those large tubs that fully grown shrubs are sold in. Guess I'll have to take a picture to show what it looks like now.

I don't think I could put a 'stick' in a styrofoam cup and expect it to do anything except croak. Don't know what her secret is but Josephine definitely has a magic touch.
