Would you take them now, June?

Have got one of these at the bowling green. In three years it has grown five times the size. I agree Spritz, and visitors are taking cutting from ours now, soft tissue, so I presume this is the time.

That's good. It must be happy there! :-))

My plant came through last winters weather but will take some cuttings too just to be on the safe side. Thank you all.

I wouldn't do it now, Rohima. They're not reliably hardy plants, so wait until spring when new shoots should appear, then you can trim it back to them. I was really pleased that my shrubby Salvias responded so well to this treatment.
