    I think one of my plants is a Lavender, how would I go about taking cuttings from it?

      This was on Beechgrove garden this week I think. You can watch it on iPlayer if you're not in Scotland. They talk through taking cuttings, including lavender.

      Just as a matter of interest, Kyle, "French" Lavender is reputedly less hardy than the Old English Lavender and shorter lived.:what::D

        I've taken some! First ones I did weren't 'heel cuttings', so now I have some which are heel cuttings and some that aren't.. so should end up with some, either way!

          I've taken even more cuttings today, following the video, so I'll report back with which ones actually work!
