I used to take cuttings and overwinter every year, but I got too carried away. By spring I had hundreds of them! Now I usually just pick up packs of small plants at local stores. Unless there is something special I want, then I'll order on line. Our local stores don't have any named varieties. My favorite on line store is Rosy Dawn.
