Verbena Bonariensis was one variety of around 60 salvias, buddleias and verbenas we bought as tube-stock. This one is easily propagated from cuttings - the original plant is now in the ground.....
...and this is one of the many cuttings we've already struck.....
It too is ready to take cuttings from. According to wiki it may grow to 1.8m tall and 90cm wide, so we won't be needing too many more. It'll be nice to see some flowers happening.
And in other news we've decided to put a hedge around the veggie patch - whenever anything looks tasty, it gets eaten by the wallabies and 'roos. A thick hedge, maybe 2m high should stop them getting in. We're going to order tube-stock this week and hope to have a 'roo proof hedge within a 3 years!
