My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Salvia

Trimming salvia

11 years ago

Have a very large salvia/russian sage that should have been divided in spring, but alas ... now it has split in the middle and is a mess. I've staked it up, but am wondering what would happen if I cut some of the outer stems to the ground? Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
