In October, I pruned my Lampranthus to tidy them up a bit.
...And to see how the prunings fared as cuttings.

I did this for both L. aureus and another one that produces pastel pink and mauve flowers (if anybody can identify it for me, that would be great).  I inserted them, without rooting powder, in a mix of lime grit, soil and a small amount of potting compost, in shallow terra cotta pots, left outside.

I am delighted to say that the cuttings all rooted well.
And now they are starting to flower. They are a bit sparse on foliage, but I expect that will improve once I plant them out.

I've found Lampranthus easy to root but I've had difficulty with the little plants once they're planted out. They sit and ponder, sometimes for years, whether to spread or not. In the meantime they get swamped with weeds and sulk even more. They seem to prefer good soil which is hard luck in my garden.
