Salvia

Prune or not??

17 years ago

I have a beautiful "Honey Rose" Salvia which is growing so big and spreading over everything, and I want to transplant it to another part of the garden. Should I trim it back first before digging it or should I dig the whole thing up and plant it then trim it? Thanks bunches, Sunnie
