Re: Melianthus major cuttings?

Never tried cuttings, but my melianthus reseed each year - just two or three plants actually make it to any kind of size but you might take a look around the base of yours to see if there are any babies

I have a Melianthus major 'Purple Haze' that's starting to sprawl out beyond the border and into the lawn, so I want to cut it back before the lawn mower does it for me. I'd love to try taking cuttings of it. Has anyone tried propagating melianthus from cuttings? I have access to a greenhouse with a 
mist system and bottom heat.
As an alternative to Dodonea, I wonder if Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver 
Sheen' or Lophomyrtus 'Sundae' would work? Both are relatively narrow,
upright growers with interesting foliage.
