I think your're gonna find Buddleia very easy to root. It can be rooted almost anytime of year reasonably easy and it doesn't require any "special" care. You can dip the end in rooting hormone if you have any for even better results. Plant it in moist (maybe a little wetter than misted but not soggy or saturated), well draining soil. Cover to make a greenhouse effect. The top 2/3's of a plastic 2 liter pop bottle works well as a mini-greenhouse cover and will be a little more sturdy than plastic wrap. I use pots that fit snuggly into the bottom of the pop bottles. If you put it outside, put it in light shade.

You probably already know this, but the reason they advise you to cut just below a bud node is because there are more growth cells in that area than in other parts of the stem. That will make it root better/faster.

And, BTW, I still have the black mondo grass you wanted. It's not in the way, but just didn't want you to forget.

I have scads of butterfly bush volunteers if you want them. Just dig carefully and you can take them. They are purple. I live between Bean Station and Rogersville.

Thank you both !! I will definately be coming to get that mondo grass soon. Nancy, I so appreciate the offer. I love learning how to do different things in the garden, especially when it comes to plant propagation, so this is one i'd like to try and do myself. Thank you again though for the generous offer !!
