Re: perennials DIGEST V2 #929

Hi Val, 
I do it all the time. My (annual) forget-me-nots from seed were pale blue 
so I started cuttings of some robust, dark blue ones that came in a bouquet. 
I've started Carnations, mums and other daisies that way too. I haven't had 
any success with the bulbs or bulb-like plants like Alstromeria. I also 
haven't had any success with Baby's Breath either.  But it's always worth a 
try.
