RE: Root cuttings

Hello Janet,

I have successfully propagated Verbascum, Acanthus, Catananche and Papaver
this way and I normally do this when the plants are dormant during the
winter.

    Martha Stewart (hey! come back here!) had a segment on propagating
plants by root cuttings. Her website says root cuttings can be taken
from January through April, but her guest showed off a Papaver grown
from root cuttings taken last fall.
    So, when *can* root cuttings be taken? And which plants lend
themselves to this procedure? Stokesia laevis roots will sprout very
easily; I ended up with dozens, just by cutting through the soil around
them with a shovel.
