Other plants to strike this way
Heel cuttings are used to propagate plants that are sometimes difficult or slow to root. The sliver of bark and woody stem at the base helps to protect the cutting from rot, contains useful growth hormones and helps prevent sap from semi-ripe cuttings draining away into the soil. Try it with other plants, such as: Rosemary (right) Californian lilac Common lilac Viburnum Camellia
Lavender
