too many to describe on here unless you pick a type or end use.

Yes agreed, but for sheer ease of strike, I find impatiens the best.

Some varieties of ornamental lavender are fairly easy to strike from cuttings.

Just try whatever you want, using a good sandy potting mix, and cutting off excess leaves.Keep watered and in a shady spot and see if it takes. I took some passion fruit cuttings the other day, as I have in the past, and they are doing fine.They do take a long time to root up.

Do impatients come back next year? Planted out all my big pots over a month ago and they look fab.

They'll self-seed everywhere, so you'll always have little new plants, too.

An earlier post mentioned impatiens. I see they need to be planted in spring, down south. Would they grow in pot inside over winter?
