Itea ilicifolia propagation

wort

Can anyone help me? Is it possible to take cuttings from the Itea ilicifolia?  Also when is the best time ? And how do I take the cutting/which piece?  I have one which is on a north facing wall, and been there for many years now.  I love the long white racemes, and  the fact it's evergreen . I have recently removed a pyracantha,  and would like to replace it with the Itea. Thank you .

According to the RHS you can, https://www.rhs.org.uk/Plants/9420/Itea-ilicifolia/Details

"Propagation Propagate by seed or semi-hardwood cuttings"

Now is a good time for the semi hardwood cuttings

Best of luck with them

Thank you Farway! 😊 that's a handy reference too, I always struggle to remember when cuttings are shown on gardeners world.

I love it Dave definitely worth a shufty look for one.  I went to Arley gardens earlier this year,and it's the first time I'd seen one apart from the one I have .
