    I bought five really bushy surfinias a couple of weeks back at 70p each from my local shop...not a garden shop,just one of these guys who will sell anything that makes a buck.

    I chopped them right back and made 38 cuttings...outside in a clear plastic container with a lid on.I more or less forgot about them and checked tonight. 34 of them have taken and growing fast...:yess:
    Looks like I'm gonna have a heck of a display of blue surfinias this year...I'll spend half the summer dead heading..:D
