Do I prune a flopping May Night Salvia?

14 years ago

A few weeks ago my May Night Salvia was blooming and looking so nicely rounded and contained. Now it's flopped over and the middle is showing. I think the hail got to it. It gets a lot of morning sun and then semi-shaded some in the afternoon. What to do now? Do you split these, trim it good? The bees still love it.

I would cut it back and you should get a second flush later in the season.
