another great thing i learned...... towards the middle,end of spring... bend down one branch of your favorite bush and stick into soil... place a rock on top to weigh it down... at the end of summer snip off from mother plant.. it should have lots of roots and be a brand new baby bush.... works on almost all of mine... so i have alot of duplicates now from the one bush... instead of buying any more....it works on almost all the common flowering bushes....you can afford to glamorize your yard this way...
