the common mop top varieties of hydrangea are some of the easiest plants to
propagate from cuttings (about 12-15cm long) taken after flowering (late
summer / autumn) - I have had good success rates by just popping them in
pots with a normal potting mix - no sand/peat mix, no heat, no rooting
hormone etc - but I am sure if you did the 'right things' the success rate
would improve
