probably give them away!
here in Cal we have a drought, many are re landscaping to more natural plantings and plants that need little , if any water.
No grass rusty gravel and boulders!  maybe a longhorn skull?
I like propagating anyway.

I have 20 brugmansia cuttings rooting here on my kitchen window sill. after the holidays, I'm going to have to pot them up and put them under lights in the garage. I really only have room for maybe 10 of them in my garden.

I got into them 5 or 6 years ago. Of course, I have to dig them up in the fall or take cuttings. I was lazy this year and just took cuttings.

They can't handle frost and the Chicago area gets pretty cold during the winter.
I'm zone 5.

Merry Christmas, Jerry.

Frost kills them, maybe there are more temperate areas in Switzerland.

That agave is really neat Jerry! Will the mother plant die now that it has bloomed?

Yes it is , but ever so slowly. The pups I put in 4" pots are thriving. Hopefully I will make most of my landscape  will be drought tolerant plants.  Lots of rain this week. The urgency will probably disappear.. I refer to govt. agencies pushing and even giving rebates to those who join the program.   They have run out of money!

Many who got money were shocked that the IRS taxes it as income!
