> Is July an acceptable time to root cuttings of:
> Amsonia hubrechtii (ciliata)
> Chrysanthemum weyrichii (sp?) White Bomb 
> Chysanthemum Clara Curtis
> Chrysanthemum pacificum Pink Ice
> Coreopsis verticillata Moonbeam (and Zagreb)
> 
> I picked up nice stock plants of each over the weekend, and the stems
look
> like they should root well.  
> 
> I also picked up a lysimachia (gooseneck loosestrife).  That one looks
> vigorous enough that I will simply divide it periodically.  But will
> cuttings also work?
> 
> Anyone have any experiences to share with the group?

> Finally, I rooted dozens of root cuttings of verbascum Southern Bouquet
in
> the spring by simply washing the root mass of an overwintered plant and
> placing the broken roots (4 to 10" long) on a bed of moist potting mix
> covered with vermiculite.  It worked, but each cutting gave only one
plant:
> green at the top end of the cutting, roots at the other, regardless of
> length of root cutting.  I think this one is best done by cutting into 1
or
> 2" pieces, inserting them vertically into the mix, and standing back!
