Ask for a cutting from a friend’s plant to grow this shrubby herb.

STEP 1 Snip 15-20cm from the top of a vigorous shoot using sharp, clean secateurs. STEP 2 Strip the lower leaves, then dip the cut end into root-promoting hormone gel or powder.

STEP 3 Fill a small pot with seed-raising or sieved potting mix. Insert the cutting to just below the leaves. Firm in. STEP 4 Gently water and put in a warm, bright spot. Keep moist and, when roots form in about six weeks, carefully transplant into the garden or a larger pot.
