Not by division but by cuttings. Of course you can grow plants from
seed of 'La Seduisante' but, since she's a hybrid, what you get won't
be 'La Seduisante'. They'll be unnamed hybrid seedlings - and, who
knows? maybe one of them will be even *better* than The Attractive One
herself - and will be known as Hebe 'Margaret Moir' to generations yet
unborn! Now how's that for encouragement...!

Best wishes -
