| The stuff grows so well once established we blithely dipped an stuck a couple of flats worth of softwood cuttings and relegated them to the mist box. In the two stints we’ve tried so far, we’ve gotten perhaps only10->15% success.
Is there some particular combination of technique with Russian Sage for finding those percentages as losses instead..? Response appreciated greatly as the softwood is falling into autumn..! |

| we find that taking them late in autumn yields poor rooting - I suspect they are too woody then. We take in mid summer, from very soft wood. Important for us in zone 4 for that winter 'bud' to develop in the plug before we overwinter the plug. hope this helps. PP |
