It came upon this method accidentally while pruning, and its turned out to be a fabulous mishap! Come check out my method for pruning Salvia, and give a shot. Let me know what you think?

Great information on trimming our salvia. I'm 81 years old and am beginning to become very interested in gardening with flowers an bushes...my new hobby. Thank you and bless you.
Wow!! I’m so proud of you getting started at 81!! Age is just a number, as long as you’re doing something that you like and enjoy, that’s all that matters!! Gardening truly calms and cheers the soul!!! May God bless you with great health, peace and happiness!! 🙋🏻♀️🙏🙏
I bought two Salvia plants at the nursery and what a wonderful plant for all sorts of bees and butterflies. They were similar to yours, but the foliage was darker and all parts of the plant are highly fragrant when crushed. I cut them back like you did, but I made as many cuttings as i could and simply put them in a jar with tap water. In about a month they had produced roots, and I had another 15 plants. I repeated the process, again and again and filled the garden with the plants. What I like most, is the flowering time, all year round just cut them back like you did. In a hot summer a little watering every 2-3 days will keep them going.
Hi Gary, that is so wonderful how many plants you were able to make from those cuttings 🌱 I find that s9 fascinating and such a fun thing to do. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Thank you for sharing how you put them in water! I have 2 white plants and just planted 2 pink. I wanted more white but can't seem to find them. So I will try this method! 👍
You put your clippings with whatever is left of the bloom still attached at the top of the spike into water as is? And it grows roots and becomes a new plant?
@@jak30341 No, I obey normal cutting rules using what I've cut off. That is cut below a node, then snip the top off, leaving a couple of leaves. The cutting should be long enough to stand in the jar with the node at the bottom. One piece may give you 2 to 3 cuttings, so long as you've got a node at the bottom and a couple of leaves at the top of the cutting, this plant isn't fussy.
@HookedandRooted Your most welcome. Glad I ran across your channel again it's been a while since I have had the opportunity learning all the things you share. I live in Arkansas so our climates are different but the smart ideas you have are universal working for everyone and I think inclusion is so very important when we all have different processes hoping for success. Gardeners are the hardest working people, we will work our gardens from can till can't. That means from when we can see till when we can't in the heat of summer and cold of winter. Hope this message makes sense. People say I speak in riddles. Lol Here is a funny answer I came up with years ago you can share . When someone says to me I must have a green thumb; I say no its a brown thumb you have to keep your hands in the soil to be successful.
PLUS you can cut off the flowers on the stems you cut off and place the rest of the stems in water and let them root and you will have lots more plants for your yard. Take off the bottom leaves you don't want them in the water leave the ones on top alone.🌵🌵 oops just read that everyone has the same idea suggestion.🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
I was going to add that those cuttings could also be potted for making new plants. Just a bit of rooting powder and moist soil in a clay pot and in a few weeks, new plants to add to your garden. I love propagating as many perennials as possible and usually give them to other family gardeners. Your garden is looking great! Jo from New Zealand 🇳🇿
ARE YOU TALKING... TO ME ⁉️ I CAN START THEM IN SEED POTTING SOIL ? WITH ROOT HORMONE ? CAN I START RUSSIAN SAGE JUST FROM THE PURPLE BRANCHES FRESHLY CUT ⁉️ OH MY🤔🌻 SERENDIPITY , I'M SO SUBSCRIBED 💞
Feel so foolish that I never thought of this!!!! I have May Night salvia, which I love. Will definitely, absolutely try this. Any others that work like this? I have lots of perennials.
@@maureenmckenna5220 I'm only just learning myself but yes it seems there are many perennials that work like this. You can just search youtube for titles like "how to propagate salvia from cuttings" and substitute in other plant names as well, or "how to propagate perennials." I think there's a bit of technique involved to have the highest success rate but plenty of videos to teach us out there.
@@JWHealing Thanks for the encouragement and information. I have been able to propagate Autumn Joy sedum, in spite of my own failings, because it just seeds itself close to an area where it is growing. After many years, I have seven, three of which are huge, sedum, one of which must be dug up next year to make room for air. I know I can cut these and just stick them in the ground and they will grow. I am going to try and give the established plants, rooted and all, to some gardeners nearby, as I know how expensive they can be. I also have three year old serendipity allium that look like they could be divided next year easily. But, these are all dug from the ground up, and dividing is not like propagating, which is tough in the summer sun and heat of Virginia. But, plant life has become so expensive that it just might be worth it.
In the UK we call this the Chelsea chop, this takes place around the end of May when the Chelsea RHS show is on to remind everyone. You can do this method on a lot of different perennials.
Hello. Yes, this is exactly how I’ve always pruned all my salvias - for the simple reason that my hummingbirds love them as a source of nectar. So, I never wanted to totally eliminate their food source, therefore I also only prune 1/2-2/3 of the plant in such a way, as to reduce it in size, shape it, and leave enough stalks with flowers or soon to open flowers that the bees, hummingbirds, & other insects love it!! I’m glad you prune the same way.
Thanks for more great pruning tips. I appreciate the way you teach in a straightforward manner and you explain why you're doing things. Helps me understand the method and makes it easy to remember.
Greeting's from Ireland, I have eight salvia's in the flower beds and your right the bee's can't get enough of them and there long blooming period is great.
Hello. That is such a great way to prune the Salvia. I would have to agree that would keep the cycle going for the growing season. Awesome. Thank you for sharing that great tip.
Hi there! I was so excited to have this happen by accident. Now its the only way I'll do it. Your welcome!! Hope you'll try it sometimes. Thanks for watching 🌱
First time I bought a nice salvia from home depot and planted with annual purple plants, its look beautiful. Thank you for your good information about Salvia.😊
Great info, thank you so much for sharing. I have salvia planted last year and had no idea how to take care of it besides watering. Thank you so much for explaining and showing how to do this. Really helps. The pollinators thank you too
Love this tip, because I have a love-hate relationship with my Salvia! 🤣 I love it when it blooms, but after that, it has always taken way too long to grow back and rebloom after deadheading the whole plant. Thank you! 👍🌿
Is Salvia the gorgeous hot pink .. Yep! I killed mine . I get a little behind on weeds ( forest overgrowth) and when I removed all the and parked the cherry picker there she was ! In all her " Hot Pink Glory " and she was huge ! I did cut it back and she kept growing in spite of me . Thank you for allowing me to share . The labels may be wrong on some of my Plants but , that happens when other things get mislabeled all the time and then they find all their answers right here. 🌻.
Thank you so much for this! I have multiple Salvia plants for all the bees in my backyard, i just went out to trim them but I have to wait till the bumble bees and honey bees go to bed 😂❤. Cant wait to get more blumes for them and the Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds! 🌷🐝🦋🐦⬛
There always seem that there is a breeze in your garden!!! How wonderful is that! I tried what you suggested yesterday, before I watch your video! Will let you know and thank you for your great tip❣️
Woohoo! Hope it turns out well for you. Yes, always breezy here. It's nice but when we've had no rain, things get dry. Certainly a repreve from heat. Thanks for watching!! 🌱
I learned alot from this video-thanks for posting it. I have a few salvia plants in my gardens for the first time this year, and now I know how to cut them back.
You are so amazing. What stores do you usually do your grocery shopping at? Do you ever stock up on water? Can you possibly do some in store grocery shopping videos? It would be awesome if you could show how you do your full shopping trip
Amazing, thank you very much ❤️ I got very rare Salvia seeds from Ukraine and I was successful in having beautiful plants with gorgeous flowers, but I truly did know how to look after them ( not to kill it)...soo grateful ❤️ Thank you, 🇨🇦
Thank you so much love all of mine in my back & front yard seems like every year they get bigger and bigger very gorgeous plants they come out every year beautifully
Wow you really went to town on that plant! For some reason, I always carefully prune the spent bloom where it meets in a Y with the new ones coming. But your method seems a lot easier. And I like the idea of pruning half. This should also work with Veronica.
I too cut the spent spires and get 2 buds on the sides in return...I see no need to cut all the leaves to the bottom. I pruned mine last week and it is has tons of buds already 🙂
Thanks for the tip! Just about ready to prune my Salvia Nemorosa and I’m also going to give your method a go especially as I have lots of these plants threaded through a large flowerbed. (UK)
I have a salvia & lavender garden. I have so many salvias, all kinds of flower colors & leaf colors & sizes. Love the way they attract hummers, others birds, & butterflies throughout the year.❤
Off topic… I have a blind French bulldog who was sleeping next to me while I was watching you; but he heard the birdie in the background, and my poor guy is barking in circles, and got my other frenchie going too…it was mayhem😂. Love the tips! ..and they are very timely for me! ✨👌🏻
Oh how fun!! I love frenchies, so adorable!! My dog gets going with certain sounds as well, we have an italian greyhound. Thank you for sharing, this made me smile! 😊
I'm in Houston Zone 9a. Here salvias grow super fast and after a heavy rain, they tip over and become a mess. I have been searching when and how much to prune since 3 years ago. Your video is perfect!
Awwww. I love you even more now that you replied. I came across your channel a few weeks ago. I love your videos. Thank you so much for replying. I planted a few of these gold mop cypresses in the last several months. I had no idea you could prune them up like you did. So thank you for posting. I will be doing the same to mine as soon as they get bigger and taller. Right now they are too tiny. Thanks again. I look forward to watching more of your videos. ❤❤❤
In a Chicago Botanical Garden trial, they cut back half their salvias to see how it affected reblooming. They found that it didn't matter as far as affecting reblooming. But the did note that the new flower spikes on the ones that were cut back perhaps stood out more without the old spikes still on the plant.
So appreciate the time line, she offers in this video and examples of what a salvia looks like that is ready to be thinned out. With all the spent cuttings can you use the cuttings to create more plants in another area? Does anyone know thinning out techniques for petunias?
Thank you so much! That is called, a yellow mop, or golden mop false cypress. I made a video on how i pruned it into a small evergreen topiary tree: ruclips.net/video/wHvsmtci1Tc/видео.htmlsi=r_4k_teuMD5HzRxL
I love your videos could you help me with identifying what species of what appears to be maybe a Yellow Mop Head Cypress evergreen in the back ground? I saw this video and I have been trying online to find the same dwarf type tree for my garden. It’s just stunning!! How old is yours and have you been pruning the bottom along the way to get this lovely shape and profile for this plant grouping in your bed along with the Salvia. Thanks a bunch Steph 💗💗
Id like to try this by thinning out blooms rather than chop half the plant. My hope is that it will look more symmetrical and not lopsided. Fingers crossed!
Thank you so much. My wife and I just moved to a new place. I want to plant Salvia around the mailbox. I'm glad to learn the staggered pruning. Is Salvia a perennial?

I love your garden and I love salvia. I just bought four plants the other day. Thank you for sharing this technique and not making things complicated.
You're so welcome, and thank you! I hope your new Salvia does beautifully for you 🌱
@@HookedandRooted You're sweet. Thank you.

I didn't know. All my Blue Bedder Sage is tall and leggy. I was newbie scared to prune it properly. Fears assuaged. Thank you for the inspiration.
Thank you! I am always fearful on pruning. I did not realize pruning perks these back up!
Your video was very helpful. I learned a lot & especially liked why & how to prune Salvia to help it continually bloom. Thank you! Happy gardening! 😊
I use the same technique when doing the Chelsea Chop on my perennials in May to help stagger the blooms and create a longer season of color.
So awesome to extend our bloom times isn't it? More enjoyment out of our gardens 💚
Absolutely, me too. Chelsea chop is invaluable for spreading the flowers further.
First time I bought a nice salvia from home depot and planted with annual purple plants, its look beautiful. Thank you for your good information about Salvia.😊
Just perfect, thank you - I learned so much. I've been growing Salvia fot years but didn't really know how to care for them.
I love this way of trimming salvia , Steph, thank you! Great idea!!!

Wish I'd seen this yesterday, before I pruned most of my salvia's! But I'll try this technique on the remaining ones tomorrow :)
Great method! I'm definitely going to try this with my salvia.
Your garden looks beautiful, thanks
What is the yellow plant with pink flowers at 4:00? 😮😮
Looks like “Double Play® Candy Corn® Spirea” 😊
Wow, you do cut all the way down close to the ground. Thanks for sharing!
I learned alot from this video-thanks for posting it. I have a few salvia plants in my gardens for the first time this year, and now I know how to cut them back.

Yes I was really shocked to see this video…prune down to the “Y” and you will immediately get two new flower buds.

Loved this ma'am ur information for Salvia
Plant is best ❤
No better sound than sharp felcos
I agree!! 💚
Oh you are so smart!!
So interesting! I never thought about doing it that way. You just taught and old gardener a new trick!! Thank you!🌱🌱
Lovely garden 🪴
Thank you, thank you, I was always wondering when and how to cut back my salvia to get new growth and flowers. This was excellent!
You're so welcome, Louise!
Great tip to do the half chop!
I've never heard or read of that before!
And I LOVE salvias! Especially pink marvel.
Give it a try! Hope you like it. Thanks for watching!

Very informative, thank you!!
Beautiful flowers ❤
I’ve just pruned mine and I save the spent blooms to put in a little jug 💕 the garden is looking beautiful Steph 🌸💕🌸
Pretty!! Thanks for watching Jasmine! 💚
Thank you for the salvia pruning tips. I trimmed mine today!
Hi Vivian! Your welcome! I hope you enjoy this method 🌱
Beautiful garden ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Svetlana!
Good advice. Will definitely follow your method.
So appreciate the time line, she offers in this video and examples of what a salvia looks like that is ready to be thinned out. With all the spent cuttings can you use the cuttings to create more plants in another area?
Does anyone know thinning out techniques for petunias?
Pretty cool tip. Thank you!
Your very welcome!
Great tip, Steph! Thank you😀
I too only trim back to a “y” stem. I’m afraid to do the big chop😮
Amazing plant salvia
Thanks for your easy to comprehend method ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Beautiful yard!!❤❤
Thank you Deb!
This is fantastic! Thanks so much
Great tip.
Blue sage is also edible and makes a fantastic herb for cooking
Love the color in your garden. What is that plant with the yellow top?
Thank you so much! That is called, a yellow mop, or golden mop false cypress. I made a video on how i pruned it into a small evergreen topiary tree: ruclips.net/video/wHvsmtci1Tc/видео.htmlsi=r_4k_teuMD5HzRxL
Great tip, thanks Steph!
Great info & thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching Colleen 🌱
I love your videos could you help me with identifying what species of what appears to be maybe a Yellow Mop Head Cypress evergreen in the back ground? I saw this video and I have been trying online to find the same dwarf type tree for my garden. It’s just stunning!! How old is yours and have you been pruning the bottom along the way to get this lovely shape and profile for this plant grouping in your bed along with the Salvia. Thanks a bunch Steph 💗💗
What is the yellow dwarf tree you have behind the Salvia
Id like to try this by thinning out blooms rather than chop half the plant. My hope is that it will look more symmetrical and not lopsided. Fingers crossed!
Beautiful combination of plants! Wow. What’s the name of that gorgeous plant with yellow foliage and pink flowers please?
Thank you so much! I believe the plant you are asking about might be the Candy Corn Spirea.
Interesting idea - I've got salvia that needs pruning, so I'll give it a try. I'll also try this on Veronica.
Give it a go! Hope you enjoy this method. Thanks for watching.
I love them and I love the color with their coming up; but they only last in that full color for a short time
Thank you so much. My wife and I just moved to a new place. I want to plant Salvia around the mailbox. I'm glad to learn the staggered pruning. Is Salvia a perennial?
Great idea! Exactly what I need to do to my salvia bed. Thanks
