pruning russian sage?

Hello,
I am new to Iowa and this year I started gardening for the first time. I have three Russian sage plants a little over 1 foot in height. Do you prune them at this time of the year? I have the same question honeysuckle bush and pyracantha.
Thanks for any feedback

| Typically, pruning waits until spring. Especially with Russian Sage, there will most likely be some winter die-back at the tips of the branches. This will occur whether pruned or unpruned. However, if you prune this fall, you will wind up having to pune again in the spring to remove the winter die-back -- only now you will have a lot less bush remaning when you are done. Patience, my friend ... patience. IronBelly |
