I have now got a few salvias different colours, beautiful scents.
They seem to be quite spindly but there are flowers on the ends so I can’t cut them can i to make them bush out- or should that be done at the end of the summer?

Thanks for your reply- I bought them last year for the first time and they are, I think hardy perennials small flowers herby smelling small leaves.loads of bees going to the plants.
Is that enough info Bamboo?
I sent for them from Hayloft last year.

sounds like the microphylla ones. yep you can make them bush out when the flowers finish prune them back and they will develop new shoots and then flowers.

Make sure that they get plenty of sun--they're native to the American Southwest, and maybe give them a light feeding. Adequate nitrogen and magnesium are important for growth and branching, especially basal branches.

They do get leggy. The best thing to do is cut them hard back to 6” - 8” around April time. Then you will get much bushier plants.

Which variety of Salvia do you have and how long have you had them?
