    Today I bought another star jasmine. I know that the redness is a sign of cold stress, and there were plants with just green leaves, but I couldn't resist it. I wish I was better when stressed :biggrin:

    Great news. I lived in East Lothian and moved to the South Coast and the advice I get here is completely different from when I lived in Scotland.

    How to take a Cutting of a Japanese Anemone

    If the pot is large enough, leave it in there until you hand it over. Your friend can then check the rootball and top growth after a few weeks and decide when best to plant in the soil.
