Last year on GW, Carol showed propagation
through root cuttings. When
is the best time of the year to try this. Has
anyone had any success
with this method? Thanks.

After it's finished flowering and the leaves
begin to go, Ray suggests.

Thanks Sacha, I'll give it a whorl.

;-)) Very good! You'll be starting another pun
thread!

Whirled's gone mad!

(pinched from elsehwere) I'm hoping for whirled peas.

Update should anyone gurgle this fred. Took 9 root
cuttings from 3 parent plants and 8 sprouted. No
rooting powder used. I added 2 cups from the compost
heap to half a bucket of allotment soil. The 5" dia
pots (in coldframe) sit in 2" sand, so only need to
water once per week.
Cautionary note - the new leaves emerged in mid August,
but didn't develop hair or their usual crinkly edges,
for another couple of weeks. In fact, they look ed a
bit like weeds!!! Here's today's pic :
