A Variegated Caryopteris Cutting

Yesterday day I mentioned how quickly and easily my Snow Fairy caryopteris (Caryopteris divaricata) rooted. Today I went out and potted my little cutting up into a small 4″ pot for it to grow a stronger root system before I plant it in the yard. I took a picture to show you about what size and kind of cutting I made.

The caryopteris cutting is about 3 nodes long but will root along the stem so internodal cuttings are possible, at least they have been for Caryopteris clandonensis and its cultivars.

I also potted up several other cuttings like Russian sage, ‘Autumn Joy’ Sedum, Sedum ‘Matrona’, and Veronica.
