I had my doubts as to how many of last summer's cuttings would survive the winter outside in pots but it seems like they all did. This is the last one to 'wake up'. The two smaller one's that overwintered in the porch are already forming full leaves and have doubled in size already. The main plant is barely showing signs of life, with only maybe a 100 or so new shoots popping up so far.
The plan is to create a few clones so I have back up plants if something happens to the original one. As it looks now I'll have a half dozen to plant this year.

Looks like a good start for the planting in the ground.
