The plan is to replace part of my dying grass lawn with "something else" that is native, low growing, and requires little care. The area gets full sun and the soil used to be topsoil over clay; I don't know if the soil is now good enough to be called topsoil. The soil used to be professionally treated for grass, however that was stopped a few years ago and now moss is trying, unsuccessfully because of the sun and heat, to grow. BTW, lyre-leaf sage is setting up shop in another part of the lawn.

I have a tiny patch of pussytoes growing elsewhere that I could use as a source of future plants.

It is now June, zone 7, east Tennessee. Can I take either cuttings or root divisions now and grow them in pots? If so, what kind of soil, what growing conditions?

Thanks.
