Like, if it's going to work, you should see the beginnings of roots in something like 7-10 days.

All three of my mature plants are still in bloom this morning. And best of all, I can even take hardwood cuttings - this may be due to the fact that it creates aerial roots.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337680951744816607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-58485538752113835762010-02-14T14:01:50.538-08:002010-02-14T14:01:50.538-08:00HA, Mr. Sub, you have given everyone a most wonder...HA, Mr. Sub, you have given everyone a most wonderful Valentine's Day present! Thanks for the mention and link love, but I must correct one item, that is ONE plant in the mass planting at my son's garden. It was at least five feet tall. My plant came from cuttings he took in the fall of 2008. I potted the cutting he gave me and have had the same good luck as you with green stem Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-35901027778770605322010-02-14T09:44:42.548-08:002010-02-14T09:44:42.548-08:00The first time I really noticed this plant was a f...The first time I really noticed this plant was a few years ago in late October/early November (the plants were protected from frost by the open structure they were under though it was still cold enough that all other annuals had long since died). We were clearing things like benches and planters that had been made up, most now had very dead looking annuals but in one pot, which had I guess had Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16347983770474369842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-772594841734556092010-02-14T08:16:35.337-08:002010-02-14T08:16:35.337-08:00I think it would help if you thought of it as the ...I think it would help if you thought of it as the whole phrase - <i>falling</i> head over heels. So then it's a really bad tumble, not a quick slide feet first (head behind heels?) where you can hope to catch yourself quickly and hop back up to brush the dirt off but falling such that you briefly wobble backwards and then your head passes over your heels in a sort of somersault-y fashion and Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-54058866121739688752010-02-14T06:10:25.174-08:002010-02-14T06:10:25.174-08:00Oregano, at least at my folks' place is winter...Oregano, at least at my folks' place is winter hardy.

Iffy returns here if left in the ground, but you've demonstrated the ease of cuttings and the tiniest little piece will make a huge plant, planted out in the spring.<br /><br />Fortunately my cat and dog prefer lemon grass as their salad.Jean Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000315400392984647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-87363468753005890132010-02-14T03:56:06.950-08:002010-02-14T03:56:06.950-08:00Happy Valentine's Day to you and your husband,...Happy Valentine's Day to you and your husband, Mr_S!
