| I have some lovely Salvia greggi (autumn sage) that was pumping out blooms early and constantly. Yesterday I noticed that the it had stopped blooming and already had seed 'pods' on it. Dang! Could it just be taking a breather or should I be concerned? It's in my perennial bed and other salvias are still blooming. I've heard a rumor that salvias and other perennials planted in beds are not crazy about being fed. Don't know if this is true. I do have lots of yummy stuff (liquid seaweed, fish emulsion, etc) that I'd be happy to feed them. What to do? Here's a 'before' picture that was taken on April 4th.  |

| I have one. Mine does the same thing. It will have a long flush of flowers and then a rest period when seeds set. I just give it a quick trim and soon it will be back blooming again. It does this several times during the summer and fall. Handcrafted Coastal Inspired Art SeaMosaics! |
