Salvias can be pruned twice a year — once in the late fall or early winter and once in the early spring. It's also a good idea to cut off spent blooms and trim the plant after each flowering to prevent it from getting too leggy and woody.
When should I cut back my salvias?
Hardy perennial salvias can be cut back hard in spring or autumn. Half-hardy herbaceous types can be cut back in autumn but must then spend winter in a frost-free place. If you're attempting to keep them outside, resist pruning until spring.
Do you cut back salvias in the fall?
When the fall season arrives and winter is on its way, be sure to prune your salvia down to just two to three inches above the ground and add a little mulch around the plant for protection. With regular maintenance of your plants you will receive blooms to enjoy for the entire season.
