It was easy to do. I took off some side shoots in autumn and rooted them in water, then potted them up in compost and kept them on the windowsill all winter.
I got the idea from watching a Charles Dowding video on YouTube where he explained how he does it each year to keep growing a discontinued hybrid he likes. As I'd used up all my sungold seeds I thought I'd try it.
My plan was to keep the cuttings as stock plants and take further cuttings for summer, but when I saw flower buds I decided to leave them alone and see what happened. It's a nice surprise to have such an early harvest!

I'm impressed, sounds like an autumn plan. I wonder whether windowsill wars might leak from spring into winter
