Hi, I am a newbie to Salvia. I have several salvia, some second year plants. I am not sure what a couple of them are but they are similar to others that I have....May Night and Blue Hill. What I want to know....should I cut the plumes back after they have flowered? If so, how far?
Thanks! |

| just to the bottom of the flower stalk; new ones will com up on either side of where it was.... and may have already done so. |

| Hi Westelle, Do you mean that within the same growing year there will be new flowering shoots that grow up to replace blooms that I have harvested? My mom told me if I clipped the flowers the plant would rebloom that same summer. I did that last year and had no reblooms, but I wonder if I clipped them too low down to the ground. Thanks! |

| You can just break- off/out the stalk right in the middle of the \l/ . I don't even cut them, just break the old stem out of the middle of the new growth. |
