Salvias are a wonderful addition to the garden as they are extremely drought tolerant and you can have a Salvia in flower every day of the year as different Salvias flower at different times.  Immediately after flowering they need to be trimmed with hedge trimmers and will usually flower again unless they are autumn or winter flowerers. 

Salvias are easy to propagate
Propagate after trimming, using a green stem cutting with a node at about pencil thickness.  Cut all the flowers off and most leaves and insert into a pot with the node just below the top of the soil.  Keep moist in a shady position.

Some Salvias’ tend to sucker and these can be easily separated and re-planted.
