    It looks like a Lavatera to me Lindsay. I believe you can take cuttings but I've not tried it myself. :)

    Looks like Lavatera to me too, but it's not one here you can take cuttings from but may not be successful, I think they are considered an annual here ... but then again, could be the heat. :scratch:

    Yes you can take cuttings, with a heal possibly best.
    There are annual Lavateras, but that looks like the shrubby kind to me.
