15 Perennials & Plants to Propagate from Cuttings in the Fall | Perennial Garden

[@aprildegele1510]

I love that you have demonstrated that bees aren't programmed to attack people. The bee is only worried about the pollen in the flowers. As long as you respect their space, they're not going to harm you. We noted in France that the windows don't have screens even if there are tons of bees out. Again, they're only after pollen and don't want to fly inside. If a bee lands on your arm or hand, all you have to do is be still and appreciate it until it flies off. That, or you can softly blow on it to make it fly off. HOWEVER, if you're allergic to bees in a deadly way, maybe you don't want to garden. I worked in the ER for 20 years. We had a lady that was deathly allergic to bees, but loved gardening more. When she got stung, she calmly called 911, injected her Epi Pen, unlocked her front door, had her purse in her lap with her medication list and allergies on her lap and just waited for EMS to show up, hopefully before she stopped breathing. And if she stopped breathing? She was good with that because she loved gardening that much.

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much for sharing! You're absolutely right-bees are fascinating creatures that are just focused on their work, not on bothering people. Respecting their space and remaining calm around them makes all the difference. Your story about the woman who loved gardening despite her severe allergy is truly moving. It’s a powerful reminder of how deeply connected we can be to nature. We appreciate your perspective and your years of experience in the ER-it adds so much value to the conversation. Thanks for being part of our community!

BEAUTIFUL video, i am a very new gardener and i was wondering all day HOW could i make more plants as i spent a lot of money buying individual plants, and you have shown me how to propagate every single plant i bought, i am so excited to start! Thank you

[@perennial-garden]

Buying new plants every year is really expensive! So glad you can use cuttings instead. Just be sure to take more than 1 cutting... in case it doesn't make roots (sometimes they won't... it is nature after all ;) ). And let us know how yours turn out!

I am totally new to growing things. This April, for the first time, I spreaded Meadow flowers seeds in our soil. From June onwards, I am falling in love with them. My husband, he is a wheelchai user, bought me a raised veg/flowers trug. As I was filling soil and compost in it, thought myself 'This is new me...' A lot of things to learn about plants and soil for me, but I would love to be able to spend time with the plants like you.

[@perennial-garden]

The 'new you' indeed! How exciting :) And it's great that your husband supports you with a new raised planter :)

Most of our garden is from seed or cuttings - we’re big fans of growing this way.

[@wendybartlett6717]

Taking cuttings is relatively new to me but I got lots of plants for free when I took loads of Petunia cuttings earlier in the year. I do lots of hanging baskets and containers so it keeps the cost down. I'm going to have to get a dark stemmed Sedum like yours. I have the green variety but I love anything with dark stems or foliage. I'm glad that you explained why cuttings go around the edge of a pot as I've often wondered why that was. Great video gentlemen.

[@perennial-garden]

That dark sedum is one of our all-time favorites for sure. We got a nine bark this year, too (you can also do cuttings of that)... so that'll give some more dark foliage. And I'm glad you can use the tip about putting cuttings around the edge of pots. We had one season where we didn't... and we'll never do that again! haha

[@catherineg8357]

Oh, I've never thought of taking cuttings of petunias! I think I'll try it out!

[@wendybartlett6717]

I accidentally knocked off a piece of Petunia and thought I'd stick it in a pot as I had nothing to lose and was thrilled when it rooted. That's what got me doing Petunia cuttings.@@catherineg8357

[@WoodlandT]

That sedum is really beautiful. I’ve not seen one with equally dark foliage and flowers. It would look wonderful planted with that pale yarrow

[@jenniferselvig7177]

This is a fun idea, as I always propagate in the spring. If you are planting out 1+ month old cuttings, how do you insure these fragile new plants handle a hard freeze? If you are overwintering in the pot and planting into the garden in spring how do you protect the rooted cuttings in winter conditions? Thanks so much for your help, I would love to take cuttings now!

[@perennial-garden]

We make sure we plant them out several weeks (months, often) before our first frost. We aim for at least 4-6 weeks. And we are only taking cuttings of perennials for our area -- so they can handle the climate. In the winter, if we don't plant them out in the autumn (and we don't... we keep most of ours for spring)... we keep them in our unheated glasshouse. We do also take some outside (when we run of out of space inside) and keep them next to the hedge or fence... so they are semi protected from the hard winds, etc. Hope that helps! If not... ask again and I'll explain better :)

Recently found this channel and enjoying going through the previous videos, I’ve taken a lot of cuttings over the past few weeks, what is the rough timeline from taking a cutting to planting out in a border (is next spring the general point for planting out successfully rooted cuttings?)

[@perennial-garden]

Yes. If you making autumn cuttings, then you're looking at planting them out next spring. They will have developed strong roots by then. If you do cuttings in the spring, you can go ahead and plant those sooner... as the ground will be warmer (and getting warmer, etc) as the season goes on.

[@aprildegele1510]

I learned a lot! I would have never planted cuttings on the outer edge of the pot, but I now understand why. I can't tell you how many hours I've spent trying to tease roots apart. Also, it appears that there is no reason to use expensive rooting hormone as long as you treat the cuttings properly. What do you think about dipping the cuttings in honey before potting? Also, planting in potatoes? I understand both give more nutrients so the cuttings will root faster, but I've never done it. Have you?

[@perennial-garden]

We're so glad you found the video helpful! Placing cuttings on the outer edge really does make things easier-it's a game-changer! As for rooting hormone, we've never used it ourselves and have had great success just by treating the cuttings properly. Honey sounds like an interesting natural alternative, and while we haven't tried it, we've heard some gardeners swear by it... just like they do with rooting hormone. Planting in potatoes is definitely a fascinating idea-we haven't experimented with it yet, but now we're curious! Have you tried it yourself? We'd love to hear about your experience if you do!😊

How nice that you have a green house. You guys are excellent at propagating plants. I bet you have regular customers at the farmer's market or wherever you sell plants. It is time for me to take cuttings of a few plants for next year. I don't have a greenhouse and grow them on my window sills during winter. I had some issues with bugs in late winter which was a real pain to deal with. Now I have deer in the garden and am having the last section of six foot wooden fence built to discourage them. I saw one this morning in the upper garden. It surprised me and I it. Take care.

[@perennial-garden]

Surely that fence will keep the deer out! They aren't great jumpers are they? Even if they are... 6 feet should do the trick. We're thankful we don't have that problem here... there are deer on the ramparts.. but they'd have to jump over 3 other backyards to get to ours :)

[@caroltrego1379]

Deer can jump over an 8 foot fence if they have a running start. Some has said even a 10 foot fence will not keep out deer. I am hopeful the 6 foot wooden fence will keep out the deer and will keep my fingers crossed.@@perennial-garden

There actually will be two fences about 5 feet apart after the new fence is built. Currently they are jumping my neighbor's 4 ft chain link fence to get into my yard. I read deer don't like to jump two fences in back of each other for fear of getting caught in between them.

Hi guys, you say water cuttings really well. Can you show how much and how much water after the first water? Ie the watering schedule until fully rooted and planting outside?

[@perennial-garden]

Yeah... the idea is to make sure that the surface stays moist. If it starts to dry out, we use a mister to spray and keep it damp. It's really a trial and error to find out how much is too much and how little is too dry. The goal is to keep the surface from drying out. That's the easiest way to keep your eye on it.

[@jaytopham8514]

Hi to you both. Great video, thank you. I am hoping to take some cuttings however I am wondering where to store them as I don't have a green house. I live in South East UK. I have a conservatory which is heated in the winter evenings as it's connected to the house. However this area is also my sewing room. Do you think the cuttings would be happy in the conservatory? If I leave them in a shady place outside would I need to protect them from frost?

[@perennial-garden]

It sounds like you have a great setup for taking perennial cuttings! Your conservatory could work well for overwintering them, especially since it’s heated in the evenings. Cuttings prefer a bit of warmth to encourage rooting, but they also don’t want to be too hot or too dry. Since the conservatory is also your sewing room, it might get a bit warmer and drier than ideal during the day if it’s heated or has direct sunlight, so you'll need to monitor the cuttings to keep the humidity up. You could mist them regularly or cover them with a clear plastic bag to create a mini greenhouse effect. If you decide to leave the cuttings outside, they’ll need some protection from frost, especially during colder spells. You could place them in a sheltered, shady spot, but covering them with fleece or moving them against a wall for extra warmth might help. Alternatively, using a cold frame or cloches to keep them safe from harsh frosts could work too. Both options-conservatory and outside-can be successful, but the conservatory might give you more consistent warmth for rooting over winter!

[@traceyingram-vd4ip]

Great video, im excited about getting out and propogating. Just one question, i thought you had to cut just below a node to help rooting but i noticed you didn't do this, is there any benefit to cutting below a node? Thanks for the videos I think they're great.

[@perennial-garden]

You are 100% correct... cutting directly below a node is the right way to go. Altho... you can also root (especially these) with internodal cuttings. We aren't so particular... and know that regardless, we'll have some that just won't root (even with all the best techniques and rooting hormones, etc). ((We don't use rooting hormone either... altho lots of incredible gardeners do and love it!)) The most important thing is that you take them and enjoy doing it. haha. Happy cutting :)

There is a gorgeous Russian sage plant down the street outside a grocery store. I tried taking cuttings back in spring and they all died. Would it make sense to take cuttings again now and just leave them on my windowsill in the house all winter? Or do they need to be outside?

[@perennial-garden]

Good question. If you’re taking hardwood cuttings, you might could still do it now (and keep them in a pot inside). If it’s softwood, late spring is best. If it was me, I’d do it now … and make sure I get plenty of them in case a few don’t make it. Here, we still have days before the first frost comes so we can keep working with cuttings. Exciting! Let us know if it works out.

[@perennial-garden]

@brocktoon8 I can't find your virgina creeper comment here... but I got an email about it. We don't have a virgina creeper in our garden... but if it's like other ivy (similars), then cuttings are ok in late fall or early spring. As long as the vine is dormant and leafless. Take a wooden stem with multiple leaf nodes and try propagating with that. Like with all cuttings, I'd take more than 1... since a lot of them just might not make it. You never know with cuttings 😁

We usually leave them in all winter, yes (depending on when we took the cuttings). If there's time before the first frost, we'll plant them out. If we run out of space in the glasshouse, we'll put them next to the fence (outside) all winter, too. They are pretty hardy and don't really need much babysitting.

[@melindaerickson8821]

Great video and so helpful to this new gardener. I do need a little clarification, please. If I take my cuttings and root them in June/July, will I plant them back into the garden in the fall or must I leave them covered in a shady area until the following spring?

[@perennial-garden]

Thank you so much for watching. Great question... you can replant them when they've rooted. In our experience, that will be already by late autumn. Sometimes earlier for something like sedum or nepeta for example. If you can't get them planted out before the frost, you can keep them in a covered area (we use our unheated glasshouse) until the following spring. But do keep an eye that they don't dry out -- even in winter.

[@PreservingMyOasis]

Question. You put the potted cuttings in the glass house. How long do they stay there. is it for the winter? If the cuttings have roots, say in one month from now, will you be planting the new plant outside for the winter? If yes, do you give them any protection.

[@perennial-garden]

Many of ours will stay there all winter -- because we will sell many of them at local markets in the spring. The ones that we will keep for ourselves, once they've rooted we'll plant them out in the garden before the frost (in autumn we'll plant them out). We won't give them any special protection -- but we will make sure to plant them in with plenty of time to settle in before frost. We'll also leave a lot of these cuttings outside next to the fence (uncovered) during winter. Becuase the glasshouse will be filled with seeds that we autumn sow.

In our experience, it's not necessary to have a node in the ground. As long as they're pushed in the soil firmly, we've always been fine and always had our plants root. That being said :)... pushing them up to the first node (or burying the first node) is also a great way. I just did a quick Google search and found a million blog posts saying that is the way to go. Hope that helps.

[@perennial-garden]

Just wanted to let you know that we've picked our grapes and cut the vine back... kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXy9oqWDoNCnrM0si=YiAsubsijhkLBvHT Hope this is fun to see for you!

Do you plant these in the ground before winter or where do you keep them through the winter

[@perennial-garden]

We usually leave them in our greenhouse all winter (depending on when we took the cuttings). If there's time before the first frost, we'll plant them out. If we run out of space in the glasshouse, we'll put them next to the fence (outside) all winter, too. They are pretty hardy and don't really need much babysitting.

[@aurab.5804]

Hi guys, are you going to keep all the cuttings in the green house during winter? If one doesn't have the green house- is outside a solution? Heavy winter here in canada:-)

[@perennial-garden]

Hi! We will keep most of them in the glasshouse, yes. The smaller ones, anyway. Other ones, like the hydrangea, butterfly bushes and even lavender, we'll keep in the back of our flowerbeds... near the fence (if you've seen our other videos) and behind the hydrangea flower bed. These spots are not in direct sunlight. We'll put the cuttings there as soon as we start taking the garden down for winter. And it's cold here in Denmark, too... so maybe we have that in common. Although, here on the coast, we're in Zone 8a more or less when you compare to the USDA growing zones.

[@cheriel2118]

I’m similar to you. Colorado elevation 7,600’ zone 4b. No greenhouse. I’m going to try taking cuttings now but leave them out all winter. How about you?

[@aurab.5804]

@@cheriel2118 Actually I tried just a few- didn't make it. It is a cold and long winter here, my garden is tiny and don't have a green house. So I end up buying new plants (annuals) or dividing what I can. No matter what, gardening is a joy, pure therapy!

[@aurab.5804]

@@perennial-garden Thank you. I am in zone 5, much tougher. But gardening is a joy! Keep up the good work, you are doing a great job!

[@perennial-garden]

@@cheriel2118 Yeah... your winter must be tough! And i thought it was cold here 😅. The sooner you get your cuttings started and give them time to start establishing roots before winter, the better. And even a windowsill can work. We do lots of cuttings... as we set up at local flower and plants markets. So that may make a difference with space, too.

[@liamodonohoe]

Do you leave all the cuttings in the green house all winter or leave them out to over winter ?

[@perennial-garden]

Great question. We leave them wherever we have the space -- so both places. As these are perennials in our area, they can handle the temperatures. We took cuttings before frost tho -- so they had a chance to start rooting before the winter set in. If you're worried about them, the greenhouse is best. Ours is unheated.

[@ainsliewillock2695]

Do you plant the early fall cuttings with roots - in the ground - in the late fall - so they go through winter outdoors -- or do you keep them indoors until spring to plant out?

[@perennial-garden]

Yes, you can put them already in the ground before frost comes :) We usually leave them in our glasshouse all winter, yes (depending on when we took the cuttings). If there's time before the first frost, we'll plant them out. If we run out of space in the glasshouse, we'll put them next to the fence (outside) all winter, too. They are pretty hardy and don't really need much babysitting.

[@yougethehorns]

Quick question. Do you leave it in the pot all winter or plant in the ground before winter? Thanks!

[@perennial-garden]

Great question! Depends on whether they've rooted for not. For most of these, like sedum for example, they root within a few weeks (less than a month) -- so they can be planted out before frost in the late autumn. Otherwise, we'll leave them in pots until spring. If they have roots, you can go ahead and plant them out :)

[@AnnWilson-n6o]

Once the cuttings have rooted, do I plant them before the first frost?

[@perennial-garden]

Yes. You can either keep them potted in a safe place until spring, or plant them out before the frost hits. We do a little bit of both - we have an unheated glasshouse, so we can keep a lot in there.

[@kellydaniels-ot8nw]

If you do this in the autumn and do not have greenhouse would you just leave outdoors in garden. We get a good amount of snow here in Michigan 5a.

[@perennial-garden]

Yes and no. I would leave them outdoors IF they had enough time to establish themselves before the first frost hits. I leave most of ours outdoors, up next to our fence, behind the hydrangea for example, so they are kind of protected from harsh winds. I also leave a bunch in our raised flower beds (after we've taken up the dahlias). Basically, if you can take the cuttings in time before the first frost... a good month or 2 would be great :)

[@mariyaatanasova1556]

Since everybody asks if you keep them in the greenhouse or not and no answer, here it is. Cutting that root need high percentage of humidity bright light but semisgade and no direct hot sun. Thus greenhouse is suitable place for them that prevents them to cook, rot or dry out. Once they have new roots and are good size if they are winter hardy specie in your area they can survive your winter. If they are smaller plant or not very hardy in your area it is better to keep them in in winter. To survive winter outside they need lots of roots dicent size especially semi hardy species.

Thanks for sharing, that Sedum color is gorgeous! So, if you can grow a hydrangea from just a leaf, why are 99% of people using this method? Couldn't you get three plants from the leaves rather then the larger cutting? Thank you.

I guess you could - we’ve always had way more success this way. So it’s just how we do 🤓. But if another way works… go for that 💚💚

Don't you put hormone powder? or does it grow just directly in the pot?

[@perennial-garden]

We’ve never used rooting hormone but lots of people do.

[@Indiekid-1976]

Each of those leaves you snipped off the hydrangeas would have taken as a cutting too if you are gentle with them!

[@perennial-garden]

Great!

[@mariyaatanasova1556]

Budlea the regural type should come with warning. It is extremely invasive in mild temperate rainforest climate. It seed like crazy and outcompetes the natives. However it greatest damage is on buildings and walls. Just a small size bush will crack roofs and concrete and is fully capsble to survive with no soil or water on walls. It is very destructive. I check for seedlings all around my rental and the walls and the neighboring area. If this thing settles in chimneys or the roof just the price of hiring scaffolding to remove it is eye watering.

[@perennial-garden]

That’s a good point - Everyone should check what species are invasive in their area. For us in Denmark, this plant has been removed from the invasive list.
