A couple of months ago I took some cuttings of this geranium. Bevans variety. There was lots of leggy stem left over so I cut it into pieces and laid them flat on some compost in a tray and just covered them over. I now have nine little plants like this one that I’ve potted up today. Happy

Yes Barbara, they are. Wish every thing was so easy. This geranium grows and flowers in deep shade, I remember you were asking for ideas @jacaranda

Thanks Joan. I do have a couple growing in a shady area so I’ll take some cuttings. What colour flowers does your have? 🤔

@jacaranda if you scroll to the left you should find a photo of it in flower. It’s a lovely colour. I’d happily send you one if you would like one Barbara

It looks very similar to mine but I’d love one of yours if you can spare it, Joan. 👍

When I chopped this back three weeks ago I laid some stems on compost and covered them over. I’m amazed how many shoots have come up! Going to try to pot them on in a few weeks #foliagefriday
