Very interesting to read these experiences with daphne cuttings because results can be so variable. We have found many of the smaller species and hybrids (eg: D. arbuscula, D. 'Spring Sonnet' etc.) a lot easier than D. cneorum, probably in part because cuttings have been taken from younger and stronger plants (the old clones of D. cneorum, like many older selections of plants, may simply lose the ability to be propagated so easily). We haven't grown many newer selections of D. cneorum with which to compare. On the whole we have taken cuttings later than often recommended (i.e.: in early autumn rather than summer) with reasonably good success, and now reading of Rob's experience with D. calcicola will try this next year.
