Mine are flopping and splitting in the middle too. I'm in scorching hot TN. I will split mine this fall. Thanks for the the information and demonstration.🤗🅰️+💯 Do you have any pictures of the one you split? I would love to see it. God bless you and thanks again for sharing!😁👋🏼
Hey thanks! I’m actually going to be making another video soon. But I’ve also researched and found that over watering can also cause them to flop. They are a drought resistant plant and really don’t need much water. I do not have pics- but the ones I kept in my yard are doing well. Not sure about the ones I gave to friends.
Very helpful! Our salvias look like big flowered doughnuts after the recent heavy rains and are probably due anyway for division. You posted this only a couple weeks ago with a plant in full bloom -- does that mean it's okay to dig up, split and replant now, or should I wait for a cooler time of the year when all the blossoms are spent? We're southeastern WI, zone 5a. Thanks!
That doughnut shape is how my big ones look as well but we’ve had no rainfall- for me it’s either wind or just too big for it’s own good. I did split mine during pretty hot and dry weather but the splits that I re-planted myself are doing well with new growth. If you want to play it on the safer side I’d wait until it cools off a bit. If you decide to do it now make sure to water it often until it establishes itself. Best of luck. Thanks for your comment and for watching!
@@HomegrownHowTo Thanks! Because there are several that need splitting and they're in fairly prominent places at the front of the house I might wait, but when the time comes I feel confident in going about it. CHEERS!
Ideally spring or fall. If you’re still having high temps and decide to do it now just make sure they’re getting good water. They’re pretty hardy plants. Good luck!
Did it make it back before the end of the season? I have deadheaded mine over the past couple of weeks and am now afraid they’re not getting enough sun as not much sign of new flower growth yet.
Yeah mine have always bloomed after I dead head them. They can take a little while as they do go into a bit of shock, generally. But give them some good water and they should make it back. I can usually get 3 blooms out of them from spring-fall.
It did from seed. These things self seed so whenever I see a start I transplant it elsewhere in my landscape. Takes a few years to get really big but they are awesome!
If you cut down to the ground after the spring blooms it’ll take until about Fall for an established plant. If you just cut off the blooms it’ll bloom again in about 6-8 weeks
Thanks -good to know this technique when my salvia get overgrown, I think you can also divide hostas that way. I just deadheaded some salvia and I threw the spent flower heads into a sunny spot in the back garden on the off chance that they may self seed. From your experience do you think that I may get some new plants in that spot ?
Yes it is a variant of salvia. They may bloom again throughout the season, it also may be too warm to split now. So I would probably wait until fall to split them. That way it can establish through winter and thrive next growing season
@@HomegrownHowTo Curious, annoying hiccup that has entered into the speech pattern of English speakers. I'm not sure how or why the affectation entered, but it's an odd one for sure. My speech teacher would have had a field day with this generation.
@@AmericaCirclingTheDrain i honestly don’t care. It’s a Utah accent. You trying call people out on it is douchey. You clearly knew what I meant and you doing this does not make you appear intelligent. It just makes you look like an ass.
@@thatlittlevoice8292 Yes, dead serious. Such an annoying habit to have to listen to. It's not an accent. It's an odd speech pattern that has popped up for some strange reason. The first time I heard it was when a young girl from Texas was trying to say "kitten." I was lost for a second or two until I figured out that "ki'en" was actually "kitten." By that time, I had missed much of the point she was making. I've heard Brits do it as well. It seems sad that, at a time when we could benefit so much from better communication, this broken word pattern would rear its ugly head. Curious.
Ooh, imagine the amount of cuttings you could have gotten with the cut off foliage!
So glad I watched this! I have 2 that are huge and flopping over in the center. Wasn't 100% sure if they could be divided. Thanks for the great video!
No problem! Thanks for the kind words. Take care and good luck on your project!
Thank you! This was so helpful and exactly what I needed. I have several overgrown and "falling" salvia. I love your quick, easy videos!

@@heathera.goesch5333 great! Good luck!
Hi. I'm curious if all the 'new' clumps survived since dividing and replanting them?
They all made it! Just be sure they get good amount of water until established and they should survive.
Thank you!!
I’m happy it was helpful!
When is a good time of year to split salvias?
Ideally spring or fall. If you’re still having high temps and decide to do it now just make sure they’re getting good water. They’re pretty hardy plants. Good luck!
I read that falling over like that is a sign of not enough water or too much water or they aren't getting full sun, too much shade.
Yes. There are so many variables with these plants.
~⚪ Actially sometimes an indendation in the flora like this is a sign of a nest for fowl or other animal species ~
No doubt- definitely a possibility.
What variety is that? May I know the name? Would love to plant some in my garden.
These are May Night Salvia.
Did it make it back before the end of the season? I have deadheaded mine over the past couple of weeks and am now afraid they’re not getting enough sun as not much sign of new flower growth yet.
Yeah mine have always bloomed after I dead head them. They can take a little while as they do go into a bit of shock, generally. But give them some good water and they should make it back. I can usually get 3 blooms out of them from spring-fall.
Could this be done in the fall?
Best time to do it!
Did that plant originate from one seed/plant? Amazing how big things can get!
It did from seed. These things self seed so whenever I see a start I transplant it elsewhere in my landscape. Takes a few years to get really big but they are awesome!
Wow that's an excellent tip! Thank u
How long did it take for the sage to grow back to about 1-2 feet?
If you cut down to the ground after the spring blooms it’ll take until about Fall for an established plant. If you just cut off the blooms it’ll bloom again in about 6-8 weeks

I just deadheaded some salvia and I threw the spent flower heads into a sunny spot in the back garden on the off chance that they may self seed. From your experience do you think that I may get some new plants in that spot ?
Highly likely. If I’m ever late to deadhead my salvia they’ll drop seeds and the next fall/spring I get a lot of starts 👍 thanks for watching!
@@HomegrownHowTo I will keep an eye out for salvia in that area next spring! Thanks again!
Is Salvia the same as violet profusions & how long does it take to rebloom again after you split it up?
Yes it is a variant of salvia. They may bloom again throughout the season, it also may be too warm to split now. So I would probably wait until fall to split them. That way it can establish through winter and thrive next growing season
Need to do this to mine. Did you end up fertilizing after replanting or just water??
Just water. I’ve actually never fertilize mine. They may pop more if I give them some food 🤔
Hi
Is it too late to split my lavender? 90° out
I’d wait until fall for the best possible results.
When would it be safe ro consider it "fall" in PA, Z6? It's August 20 and I have ants in my pants!
@@ksero1000now is a great time!
@HomegrownHowTo NICE! I'm off tomorrow. I adding on my list. THANKS!
Do you think that english lavender would also survive being split like that?
Yeah most likely with proper post transplant care. Perennials do great being split 👍
great video except for the annoying music
Appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching
Awww
You’ll be ok
Promise ❤
@@nowirehangers2815 Never take the word of a cunit.
Not enough sun
