Yes! Most herbaceous perennials can be propagated with cuttings. Take 4-5” cuttings, remove the bottom 2/3 of leaves, dip in a rooting hormone and put into potting soil! Expect around a 50% success rate, so take a lot of cuttings :)
Noooooo. Not spiderwort. That stuff spreads like a virus. I worked at a native prairie plant greenhouse and it was out of control. It looks like crap in the landscape once it's done flowering, too.
I’ve definitely heard people share similar views on spiderwort, and it does spread easily! Some people are looking for this type of growth to fill out a large area. I personally like the look of its foliage even after blooming. But I know everyone has their own preferences
The information you provide on each species is amazing.
Thank you so much for watching!

If I cut back the Aster, can I use the stem cuttings to propagate new plants? I have a Late Purple Aster.

@@BrightLaneGardens it just looks so ratty. I'd rather have the anemone. 😁
