Susan,

I have a Grevillea  'Canberra Gem'  here in the UK which has survived all
the recent winters and is clipped back regularly to six feet. It flowers
here from February to November (peak in March), but try as I may, I cannot
get cuttings to strike easily. Got any tips? After four or six months in a
a bottom heated sand bench they usually have developed a callous, but
getting roots is beyond me at the moment.
