September In Your Native Garden

September In Your Native Garden

Propagation, Cuttings and Seed Collection

September in your Southern California native garden is the perfect time to take cuttings and propagate plants. Some plants are suited for propagation during this warm month, while others are best left alone until later in the year during the cooler months.

Those that will benefit at this time include:

  • Arctostaphylos, commonly known as Manzanitas

  • Aristolochia californica, commonly known as the California pipevine, California Dutchman's-pipe, or California snakeroot

  • Baccharis pilularis, commonly known as Coyote Bush

  • Berberis nevenii, commonly known as Nevin’s Barberry

  • Berberis pinnata, commonly known as California Barberry

  • Carpenteria californica, commonly known as Bush Anemone

  • Ceanothus, commonly known as California Lilac

  • Cercocarpus, commonly known as Mountain Mahogany

  • Erigeron, commonly known as Fleabane or Seaside Daisy

  • Holodiscus discolor, commonly known as Cream Bush, California Spiraea, Meadow Sweet or Ocean Spray

  • Ribes californicum, commonly known as Hillside Gooseberry
