These garden favorites can multiply into free plants for spring if you act now, but waiting just a few more weeks means missing this year's propagation window.

Late August it may be but trust me – the best is still to come. Mornings will grow colder and darker over the coming weeks but despite that, we can expect a glorious explosion of floral colour.

Winter means death for many different plants, but if you take some cuttings from these herbs, you can propagate them indoors during the chilly season.
