Ever wonder which shrubs are easy to clone—and which ones will test your patience? 🌱⁠ ⁠ In the July/August issue, plantsman Matt Mattus takes us inside the art of summer propagation. From hydrangeas that root almost as soon as you look at them, to the divas of the cutting bench, he ranks woody plants from easiest to hardest to propagate.⁠ ⁠ Think of it as a gardener’s rite of passage: the thrill of snipping a twig, tucking it in, and watching it turn into a whole new hedge, lilac grove, or climbing rose.⁠ ⁠ Curious which plants made the list—and whether you’re ready to try? Swipe through our mini propagation cheat sheet, then dig deeper in the Grower’s Almanac, July/August issue of American Gardener.⁠ ⁠ 👉 ahsgardening.org to read the issue⁠ 👉 connect.ahsgardening.org/join to become a member⁠ matt_mattus ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #summerpropagation #growersalmanac #AHSgardening #AmericanGardener #plants #gardentips #propagation #hydrangeas
