RE: What are the world's easiest cuttings ?

Jill,
I haven't tried it in the deep of winter mostly because I get too creaky
to bend over in the cold. It has worked for me pretty much all year.  I
also get sedum broken off any time of year by dogs and kids (my garden
invites kids to hop through on rocks and I love it). I just pick up the
pieces and stick them in a flowerpot full of dirt. In the winter, these
"cuttings" can take a couple of moths to look like they are going to
survive and a few may dry out before the new roots take if they are too
long or been handled too harshly (stepped on). Which sedum were you
trying? Let me send you a few sprigs and see if mine are different.
