With the plants behind the pool, the cornus or dog wood stems you could take some hardwood cutting now autumn is the best time to take the cuttings – Details below <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growing garden plants from Hardwood cuttings is a great way to save some money on plants to increase the colour and interest in your garden.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardwood cuttings can be used to propagate a lot of garden shrubs such as Cornus and forsythia
Starting in the autumn through to the spring as you prune many of your plants back you can take cuttings of the stems that are around a year old, remove the top around 75mm and cut the remaining stem into pencil lengths approx 100m to 150mm long
Cut the stem so that the top cut is above a bud and the bottom cut below a bud joint on the stem. Then creating a slit in the soil in your garden border using a spade, then fill the trench or slit with some sand about 25mm. Insert the hardwood cuttings so that 50mm of the cutting shows above the soil. Finally, heal the cuttings in by pressing the soil around the cuttings with your feet and water in.
After 12 months around 70 per cent of the cuttings will have grown and will be ready for transplanting<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants suitable to grow from hardwood cuttings include
Cornus \/ dogwood stems
Salix
Abelia,
Deutzia,
Buddleja (butterfly bush),
Cornus (dogwood),
Forsythia,
Philadelphus (mock orange)
Ribes (flowering currant),
Rosa (rose),\u00a0
Symphoricarpos
Viburnums.
Sambucus Racemosa Plumosa Aurea
Sambucus nigra Black Lace<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternatively you could use a small heated propagator<\/a> and place the cuttings in heated seed trays, then the rooting takes around 10 to 30 days. You can also use the propagator for softwood and semi ripe cuttings of shrubs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
