Hi all, hope those gardens are looking great what with all the time lots of us are at home!!
Grateful it's this time of year, love the spring anyhow.
Can anyone identify this for a friend of mine she says it has purple flowers and a lovely scent.
Also can you take cuttings?
Thanks in advance and all stay safe

Hi it looks like Phlox to me. if it is then yes you can take cuttings but you can also divide the plant in early spring just as it starts to 'wake' up.
