Rewilding My Lot

I learned at a gardening seminar that Salvias could produce more blooms by cutting them back more often than once a year (what I am used to doing), and that you can cut up to 2/3 off. Supposedly, even though flowers are lost in the trimming, a greater number grow back.

So let’s see what happens here. These are my two Salvia coccinea (Scarlet Sage) plants here before and after trimming on September 24, 2023. I chopped the stems that I cut off into small pieces and left them on the ground as sort of personal mulch.

I’ll report back in a few weeks!
