How do you cut back salvia or do you?

I have the red salvia coccinea (not sure of spelling), White Salvia farinacea Mystic blue spires, black and blue, and smaller blue type begins with an "n" I think and another reddish pink type that people here have suggested. When the flowers on the long stalks are about gone, do you cut them back or leave them?

I have lots of hummingbird plants, red pentas, cigar plant,the salvias, and lots of other butterfly plants but I can't get the hummers to stay. I see one in the spring and fall and that's it. Even have two feeders out but no luck. I really thought with all the Salvia, I would have more this year. Also have coral honeysuckle. Am waiting to get firecracker and firespike cuttings soon. Any other suggestions?
