Has anyone tried willow-water - I'd love to hear it it worked, fizzled, or backfired on daylilies. Willow stems (the part that hangs down at the end of the branches) have strong growth hormones in them and have been used as a natural, free and easy way to encourage growth in other plants, cuttings, and divisions. You just cut some stems (we have lots of willows around our area, but the stems can also be purchased online), soak them to leach out the growth hormones, and use the water on other plants. One google source that popped up is: deepgreenpermaculture.com/diy-instructions/home-made-plant-rooting-hormone-willow-water/
