I don't have a whole lot of luck with cuttings, but I think that's mostly because I don't have a good place to put them while they're rooting. I'm going to try some on my new shelves on the back side of the woodshed. It gets a bit of morning sun, but stays shady most of the time. Heh heh, and they'll be visible so I don't forget about them.
Oh, and Steph, if you want some poppy seeds to try, just let me know. Mine have been sitting around for a while, but I have LOTS!
