When is the best time to do this, also is it possible to grow any of these plants from cuttings? 1 Answers 0 Vote Up Vote Down Gerry Daly Staff answered 7 years ago Penstemon and catmint can be easily moved in autumn or spring, and cuttings of the lower stems can be taken, often with roots already formed. Cistus is a shrub and often moves badly, especially if well established. It can be grown from cuttings taken in summer.
