I tried cuttings but failed, they seem very difficult, maybe if you had a mist propagation they'd live. My neighbors tried also and failed. Some types of beach sunflower will "volunteer" and after2.5 years some of mine have done that so I dug up the babies and potted them hoping to get them through the winter.

If I were closer I'd donate some but am south of Sarasota on the west coast and they will not mail well at all.

Thanks anyway, Denise. The trick to rooting them is to do it in early spring, in your area, around the end of Feb., early March. I always just pulled up ground layers, from the ones growing elsewhere, but I never had much trouble rooting them. I just put them in straight old FL sand. I don't think they like rich soil.
