to divide or not to divide?

I have an Autumn sage and I'm not sure if they are supposed to be divided or just pruned and propogated from cuttings and seeds.
On the Texas A&M website division was not listed as a form of propagation, although dividing was listed as a form a of propagation with most other perrenials. I've read about dividing them, but I'm not sure it would work and I don't want to harm my plant. It looks like it's ready to be divided because it has sparse foilage in teh middle part of the plant.

| Autumn Sage, S. greggii, doesn't get divided. If you want more plants you must grow them from rooted stems. Only Salvias like S. leucantha, that actually make a clump, can be divided. As far as pruning goes there have been some excellent "how tos" already given on this site. Try doing a search for "pruning"... which can be found at the bottom of the main page of this forum. |
