 Plants to reproduce from hardwood cuttings



There are many reasons for spreading plants from hardwood pieces. Usually done in the winter or fall, taking hardwood pieces is a great way to increase the number of plants growing in your garden. Enjoy your landscape, create new hedges or windbreaks and create a more beautiful overall aesthetic. When it comes to breeding, plants are basically one of many species. Softwood cuttings are new growths and are usually taken in the spring, while greenwood cuttings are taken from woody plants. Semi-ripe (or semi-ripe) cuttings are harder and more mature, usually taken in late summer.


Plants reproduce from hardwood cuttings


If you are new to this, you may want to start planting some of these perennial shrubs and trees first. As they grow and thrive, you can work on spreading new plants. Need to add more color to your yard? Look at these large flowers for planting under trees. Despite the shade, they grow and produce beautiful flowers!


1. Abelia


Aphelia is the first shrub on our list that can be easily grown by cutting down hardwood. When the plant is dormant, you will usually pick it up between mid-autumn and late winter. Ideally, this should be done after the leaves have fallen. Soak your cuttings in rooting hormone and place them in a little soil. Pruning should be done only if the tree is more than a year old.


There are many varieties and my favorites include the Kaleidoscope Abelia, the Radiance Abelia, and the beautiful Rose Creek Abelia.


2. Blueberry


The blueberry plant is one of the many berry plants that can be propagated by pruning hardwood. Usually, after the cold season from late January to February, you will take it during the dormant season.



There really are hundreds of blueberries to choose from. Below are some of the best options that will give you delicious fruits and are easy to maintain if you are just starting to plant them.


3. Viburnum opulus


With broad flower heads and vibrant autumn colors, this plant grows well in heavy soil and is very easy to propagate by pruning hardwood. It may also be called the Common Snowball Bush. A funny name that will definitely make kids laugh!


4. Angel’s Trumpet


Angel's trumpet produces beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers, usually white, on heavy vines. They grow well when planted and propagated from the cut area.


I was able to see some of these vintage garden decorating ideas fit beautifully. Something about the ancient antique garden vibes screaming at me about them.


5. Mock orange


 Mock orange hardwood pieces are easy to pick up. As long as you wait for the plant to bloom, prune it - and then take your cuttings - you will find that it produces beautiful and strong canes to produce new plants.



There are a few varieties to choose from when planting on your own. Buckley's Quill Mock Orange and Miniature Snowflake Mock Orange both produce beautiful flowers.


6. Hydrangea


Hydrangeas can also be grown from hardwood pieces. You may have more luck doing this in the spring, but if you wait, don’t worry - you shouldn’t have much trouble doing this later in the year.


Hydrangeas are a flower that comes in many colors and is loved by many. If you have not planted and want more in your garden, below are some of the most beautiful options to choose from.


7. Juniper


You may already know about the juniper bush used to treat bronchitis and the essential oil of the berries used in gin. This is another shrub that can be grown by cutting down a hard tree. There are many different types, but Blue Star Juniper has always been my favorite.


8. Forsythia


Forsythia is a common ornamental plant and is easy to create! Until you prune quickly, you can take a cut from strong new growth. This shrub will bloom in spring.



Meadowlark Forsythia, Gold Tide Forsythia, and Show Of Forsythia are some of the popular options. All produce beautiful yellow flowers.

7 Big Impact Dwarf Flowering Shrubs

Scale with dwarf flowering shrubs Big gardens have a season in life, and we have unlimited energy to maintain perennial gardens and a quarter-acre vegetable patch that produces enough food for the entire neighborhood.

Dwarf shrubs are perfect for small space gardens When thoughtfully designed, a small space garden can be as visually appealing and emotionally pleasing as a sprawling yard. No need to sacrifice your favorite shrubs like roses and lilacs. You need to choose the right size varieties to match the size of the space. A short hedge or even a casket of flowering shrubs may be just what you need to make your patio feel like "home." Dual purpose dwarf shrubs One key to making the most of any space—but especially a small one—is choosing plants with a dual purpose. Peach sorbet blueberries pro...

It's not a yellow ladybug - it's an invasive Asian lady beetle

It's not a yellow ladybug They are similar, but one type helps control unwanted pests in the garden, while the other is a pest. Here's how to tell them apart. You usually want to see a ladybug in your garden, but the yellow ladybug doesn't look like one — it's an Asian beetle. Ladybugs are beneficial to your garden because they eat plant pests. However, many colored Asian beetles look like yellow ladybugs, but have turned out to be an insect. It is common to find large numbers of Asian lady beetles congregating in houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and emit an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these invasive insects crowd out native ladybugs. If you can tell the difference between two pests, you can stop an annoying problem before it starts. Asian Lady Beetles vs Ladybugs You can identify a ladybug by its markings and size. There are many species, and most sport red shells and varying numbers of black spots. Their heads are b...

11 Succulents That'll Grow Without Bright Light

 Low light Succulents  Even in a home with limited natural light, you can keep plants, including succulents. There are many low-light succulents that can grow without bright light. They may not thrive or grow as easily as partial or bright light, but they are available. Most succulents are drought tolerant, which means you don't need to water as often, so they're fairly easy to care for once you learn their needs. Can succulents grow in low light? Succulents can grow in low light, although they will not grow as well as in bright, indirect light. They cannot grow in complete darkness, so try to find at least a partially shaded spot. They may start to grow a little leggy as they seek sun, but you can prune and propagate to adjust their appearance. 1. Desert rose The thick, fleshy leaves of this succulent retain water, so you don't need to water as often. The desert rose gets its name from its habitat and its resemblance to a rose. 2. Aloe Vera When someone says a...
