I just learned something new this week. It turns out petunias aren’t true annuals — they’re really tender perennials that die when they freeze. So, I can overwinter them in the basement and plant them out again next spring. And they grow well from cuttings. So, I plan to make some cuttings from my pink wave petunia that’s in the ground and then keep the little plants alive in the basement this winter. They’ll be sharing space with geranium cuttings, too, so I guess the south windows of the basement will be pretty full of greenery this winter!
As long as those petunias are still alive and looking OK, you can certainly take cuttings from them. The ones I did last month have taken root, although I lost a few of them. Mostly the ones I lost were probably too small of a cutting, anyway. I planted a lot more than I’ll need, since I knew you always lose some of your attempts at growing things from cuttings.
It is November 2nd. It has been extremely mild here in NJ. Is it too late to take cuttings from my wave petunias ?
