    I discovered a method for pruning my Salvia last summer that prolongs my Salvia blooms for most of the Summer Season. It came upon this method accidentally while pruning, and its turned out to be a fabulous mishap! Come check out my method for pruning Salvia, and give a shot. Let me know what you think?

    I bought two Salvia plants at the nursery and what a wonderful plant for all sorts of bees and butterflies. They were similar to yours, but the foliage was darker and all parts of the plant are highly fragrant when crushed. I cut them back like you did, but I made as many cuttings as i could and simply put them in a jar with tap water. In about a month they had produced roots, and I had another 15 plants. I repeated the process, again and again and filled the garden with the plants. What I like most, is the flowering time, all year round just cut them back like you did. In a hot summer a little watering every 2-3 days will keep them going.

      @jak30341 ปีที่แล้ว

      You put your clippings with whatever is left of the bloom still attached at the top of the spike into water as is? And it grows roots and becomes a new plant?

    • @garyrock2356
      @garyrock2356 ปีที่แล้ว +26

      @@jak30341 No, I obey normal cutting rules using what I've cut off. That is cut below a node, then snip the top off, leaving a couple of leaves. The cutting should be long enough to stand in the jar with the node at the bottom. One piece may give you 2 to 3 cuttings, so long as you've got a node at the bottom and a couple of leaves at the top of the cutting, this plant isn't fussy.

    PLUS you can cut off the flowers on the stems you cut off and place the rest of the stems in water and let them root and you will have lots more plants for your yard. Take off the bottom leaves you don't want them in the water leave the ones on top alone.🌵🌵 oops just read that everyone has the same idea suggestion.🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

      @HookedandRooted Your most welcome. Glad I ran across your channel again it's been a while since I have had the opportunity learning all the things you share. I live in Arkansas so our climates are different but the smart ideas you have are universal working for everyone and I think inclusion is so very important when we all have different processes hoping for success. Gardeners are the hardest working people, we will work our gardens from can till can't. That means from when we can see till when we can't in the heat of summer and cold of winter. Hope this message makes sense. People say I speak in riddles. Lol Here is a funny answer I came up with years ago you can share . When someone says to me I must have a green thumb; I say no its a brown thumb you have to keep your hands in the soil to be successful.

    I was going to add that those cuttings could also be potted for making new plants.
    Just a bit of rooting powder and moist soil in a clay pot and in a few weeks, new plants to add to your garden.
    I love propagating as many perennials as possible and usually give them to other family gardeners.
    Your garden is looking great!

      @@maureenmckenna5220 I'm only just learning myself but yes it seems there are many perennials that work like this. You can just search youtube for titles like "how to propagate salvia from cuttings" and substitute in other plant names as well, or "how to propagate perennials." I think there's a bit of technique involved to have the highest success rate but plenty of videos to teach us out there.

      @@JWHealing Thanks for the encouragement and information. I have been able to propagate Autumn Joy sedum, in spite of my own failings, because it just seeds itself close to an area where it is growing. After many years, I have seven, three of which are huge, sedum, one of which must be dug up next year to make room for air. I know I can cut these and just stick them in the ground and they will grow. I am going to try and give the established plants, rooted and all, to some gardeners nearby, as I know how expensive they can be. I also have three year old serendipity allium that look like they could be divided next year easily. But, these are all dug from the ground up, and dividing is not like propagating, which is tough in the summer sun and heat of Virginia. But, plant life has become so expensive that it just might be worth it.

  • @soniatriana9091
    @soniatriana9091 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Hello. Yes, this is exactly how I’ve always pruned all my salvias - for the simple reason that my hummingbirds love them as a source of nectar. So, I never wanted to totally eliminate their food source, therefore I also only prune 1/2-2/3 of the plant in such a way, as to reduce it in size, shape it, and leave enough stalks with flowers or soon to open flowers that the bees, hummingbirds, & other insects love it!! I’m glad you prune the same way.

    In a Chicago Botanical Garden trial, they cut back half their salvias to see how it affected reblooming. They found that it didn't matter as far as affecting reblooming. But the did note that the new flower spikes on the ones that were cut back perhaps stood out more without the old spikes still on the plant.

    Thank you so much. My wife and I just moved to a new place. I want to plant Salvia around the mailbox. I'm glad to learn the staggered pruning. Is Salvia a perennial?

    Will definitely try to be organized enough to prune my salvia like this. I usually wait too long and they look very seedy and need to be cut back badly. But like this idea very much. Thanks.

      Hi Maureen, I think its a great method. When you get arouind to pruning them, just remember either front or backs, then go back in a week or 2 and do the other side.

    So appreciate the time line, she offers in this video and examples of what a salvia looks like that is ready to be thinned out. With all the spent cuttings can you use the cuttings to create more plants in another area?
    Does anyone know thinning out techniques for petunias?

    Our salvia is developing hollow centers. Why do some plants develop that hollow in the middle?

    I too only trim back to a “y” stem. I’m afraid to do the big chop😮

    Great tip to do the half chop!
    I've never heard or read of that before!
    And I LOVE salvias! Especially pink marvel.

    Interesting idea - I've got salvia that needs pruning, so I'll give it a try. I'll also try this on Veronica.

    I love them and I love the color with their coming up; but they only last in that full color for a short time

    Thanks for the helpful video. I noticed a different youtuber who only cut just the flowerhead off. Have you tried this method? Or have you found cutting some foliage off works better for you?

    Your videos are GREAT! such great information. I planted a few new Salvia plants and after 3 weeks the stems began to turn brown. I was afraid they were dying. Im so glad i bumped into your page to learn all about the beautiful salvia plant. I have my plants next to hydrangeas and roses. Did i plant them in a right area? My Hydrangeas and roses need alot more water than the Salvia so im afraid i may over water them? Do you suggest i move them to a much drier spot in my garden? How often should newly planted Salvias be watered?

    I love your videos could you help me with identifying what species of what appears to be maybe a Yellow Mop Head Cypress evergreen in the back ground? I saw this video and I have been trying online to find the same dwarf type tree for my garden. It’s just stunning!! How old is yours and have you been pruning the bottom along the way to get this lovely shape and profile for this plant grouping in your bed along with the Salvia. Thanks a bunch Steph 💗💗

    • @HookedandRooted

      There are many varieties of Salvia. This method works on all of them. As for the variety I have, its May Night Salvia.
