Salvias Celebrating Gardening: 2015
I am about to have surgery and will be on a walker for the prettiest months of April and May..and not able to do anything in the flower bed..
so I have finished it and mulched in March and fertilized..

My question is...the blue ensign salvia that I often post pictures of grows to 5 foot tall here and 4 foot wide by July..

It is now about 12 inches tall..and should I cut the top straight across or pinch it back so that it is bushy and will do better in May and June..stand up prettier and also bloom more profusely..

I will not be able to prune it back until July when I can walk and over the foot surgery..then I am having the other foot operated on July 21 and be over that by october..mid..

your thoughts on when to pinch back new salvia growth or just leave it alone...
