Ones that you can just snip and stick in the dirt or water and they grow?
Without any growth hormone, plastic bags, propagates and other fuss.

Gooseberries are mine.

Fushia and geranium. I just put in a pot of water for a week, little tiny roots form, then plant out in soil.

Ok have a huge amount of bamboo in my garden. Whilst it is pretty and adds movement as it sort.of dances in the breeze it takes over. I dug up a chunk and gave it to a friend, it grew.

Sourmilk where are you?

Honeysuckle. I can’t do cuttings at all. But I cut a length of honeysuckle off some established stuff, dipped it in rooting powder and shoved it in a pot, and it’s taken off, I’m now growing it round the wisteria,

Hydrangea and penstemon. Just stick in the garden and water. When we moved to this house, there was one clump of penstemon. Now they're everywhere and I have to give away!

Unless you want it popping up all over your garden then don't plant bamboo! It's long long underground roots spread everywhere and hard to get rid of. Unless you use a pot or there is a variant that doesn't do this but I don't know it's name. Lemon Balm is also very hard to get rid of long after you pull it up, it still comes up everywhere. Mint also has long spreading roots so best controlled in a pot.

@ErrolTheDragon

And now I guess we have to ask why Erodium is known as storksbill the same as pelargonium... the former should be heronsbill.Grin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erodium#Taxonomy
In the uk, storksbill is the accepted common name for Erodium. No confusion, as we don’t have a native Pelargonium. It’s gardeners who have introduced the confusion. wildflowerfinder.org.uk/Flowers/S/Storksbill(Common)/Storksbill(Common).htm
