Thankyou so much, I am anxious to try this on a grey leaved,purple flowering eremophila in my garden. This was my first one 18 months ago, he was grown in aged sheep manure and is magnificent. now I have 5 different ones. Gail

fantastic, we live on 500 acres with a 21/2 acre garden in the making. you have just saved me heaps of money. I tried this method with rosemary and voila enough to make heaps of hedges. thanks again. I am going to try now on echium.

Hi Bill, I’ve struck many Leucadendrons using this method, in particular Safari Sunset. I’ve even struck a Leucadendron laureolum hybrid from a cutting I got from a bouquet of flowers my wife once received. Just be patient though as they make take a few months to form roots, keep them in the shade and don’t let them dry out. If you’re in San Diego, I take it you’re in the middle of a hot summer at the moment so try and keep them in a cool/er place. Please let me know how you go. All the best.

Read your article and hope to try some Luecadendrons the next few weeks. I live in San Diego so I hope I have some success.

Hi Stephanie
I’ve heard the same but never tried it. I’d definitely give it a try. You could use honey for half the cuttings and something else such as Multicrop etc for the rest.
Gardening to me is an experiment some things work for some things while other things work for others.
Please let me know how you go.

hi
i read somewhere that you can dip the ends of the cut offs in honey and then plant them as it acts like the multicrop plant starter you suggested. Could i try this? Thanks
