This has been super helpful for me to realize I can cut it and it will be OK! Thank you for giving me the exact video I was looking for! This is great!

Thanks for making this clear how to prune them. I've been looking around on here to try to find out what to do in Spring for Salvias and Snapdragons that have made it over the winter. Last Fall I trimmed them to about 8 inches, and now I can see they are starting to grow. This is the first year I've had them. Excellent instructions on the Salvias! I don't want them to be leggy, so I'm going to prune them down some.

I have never pruned salvias so harshly. Mine are 1.5 meter accros flowering masses. I prune one third off in spring or if it gets to the path to much. One of the have split under the weight of snow but I taped it and it grew back to 1 stem again.

Something that would be helpful is to show the finished plant with a plain backgroundso it is easy to see what you have done (rather than a plant behind, or yourself behind, or off screen). Great explanation of what you are doing though.

So appreciate this video. My Salvia is looking sparse and leggy and woody and I have been searching on what to do with them.

Great video! It's Aug, I'm in zone 9b (I think), and the salvias in my garden have not been cared for since planting. We're also in a heat wave, with days temps 90s to 100s. When would be a good time to prune them way down like you have? They've never been pruned for since they were planted. Thank you!!

Thanks for this. We have about 10 varieties of Salvias in the garden. Because they can get a bit out of control, I did prune them quite bit I think around January and two of them just didn't come back :-(. Saw I thought I will do some research this time around. Just to understand. You do this pruning in two stages? One half way first, then you wait until the shoots come from the bottom and then scale back to the bottom? Thanks.

Do we need to overwinter them indoors such as a garage or conservatory?

Would it help covering them when there’s a heavy frosting and feeding them aswel?

Some good information but I really would like to have seen a closeup of the exact place the plant stems are cut. I don't know what a bud is so I will go elsewhere to learn. Of course, I can always guess!!!

These are smaller potted plants. They are supposed to grow up to 3-4’. Does it grow to this height every year? Can I just trim/prune some branches to keep the height? New to Salvias. Thanks
