Question: Around several of my flower beds I have an edging of alternanthera which I like very much. Is there any way I can propagate this plant for use next year or must I buy new plants each spring?
Answer: Pot up a few stock plants just before frost and place them where they will not freeze. In March take 2-inch cuttings and root them in a sand-peatmoss mixture. If the cuttings are taken at two-week intervals you will be able to get a good supply from each plant.
