Re: Achillea 'Coronation Gold'

I don't have a greenhouse either, but I use individual plastic bags for each
pot in which I propagate plants from stem/branch cuttings.  I have propagated
hundreds of different plants like this over the years and I am also
self-taught. If this method is not clear as I describe it, I can send you
directly a more detailed description.
