Hi everyone,
My first time planting Salvia, and my first time on this forum.
I just purchased and planted 6 Slavia Flare--WOW! What a bright and beautiful plant! They're in full bloom, and pretty stalkie so I asked the nursery person if they only get one bloom and then the flowers are gone? Since it's an annual, and since I wanted something to fill in the gaps left after my tulips and narcissus went their ways, I was concerned.
She explained that if, once the flowers are finished, I cut them back to the bass of the blooms, the plant will "bush out" and grow more flowers. Does this sound right to you all? Is cutting the flowers back good advice? And will it, indeed, produce more flowers?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
