A Propagation Guide

Propagating plants in remarkably easy. With some basic plant knowledge and the right timing, any gardener, novice or expert, can produce beautiful plants for next to nothing. This simple, practical guide demystifies the process and explains how hundreds of the most popular garden plants can be propagated.

The three main propagation techniques - from seed, from division and from cuttings - are covered in depth and comprehensive plant lists show which method is best for specific plants. Tools and equipment, caring for newly propagated plants, and pests and diseases to look out for are also discussed. For those 'bitten by the bug', less common and more advanced techniques - layering, grafting and budding- are explained.

Extensive tables, explanatory diagrams and photographs, and a concise, authoritative text make this THE book for every gardener.
