Related: About this forumQuestion about salvia- sage
Our son gifted his Mom with a salvia. I don't know the specific cultivar. Some need to be pruned back in the fall others not.
This one. Is pretty leggy but has new growth at the base. Question, should I prune it?

It will dieback this winter anyway. Plant it and let it get established before you trim it.
