How to Take Basal Cuttings from Perennials - Aster, Helenium, Agastache, Lythrum & Veronicastrum

In this video we are propagating five of our hardy perennials by taking basal cuttings. These are cuttings that are taken from new emerging growth right down into the crown of the plant. Early spring is an ideal time to take this kind of cutting, just as the perennials are putting on lots of new strong growth.
