Years ago a dear friend of of mine gave me , what I call, a 'popcorn bush" and I want to spread it's beauty around my property, It has huge purple blooms. To me they look like a handful of small flowers. Can you help me with my propagating question?

Hello Tonya,
Not familiar with this bush, but suggest if it has leaves either side of the stalk, you can propagate by removing all but the top two leaves . Cut just under on set of leaves and dip in hormone powder or liquid and plant in good compost. water and watch. You could also try same method with leaves and pop in water. Best wishes.
