Re: Clerodendrums

Kemberley,
I have not done this myself but AHS says to take sucker growth in autumn or
spring.Also it states  to take *semi*ripe cuttings in summer using bottom
heat.Lastly,insert root cuttings in winter..Perhaps you can sort out what you've
done already and apply some or all of the above if different ..
Understand your frustration,hope this info was of use.
