How to take and propagate salvias from cuttings EP177 - 5 Minute Friday

On Todays 5 minute Friday I will show you how to take Salvia cuttings.
These are beautiful, flowering perennials, that would have been flowering all summer.
We are going to take some cuttings and take them through the winter. The cold will be good for them, and then you will have free, new plants for next year.
It is best to do this at this time of year, after flowering, which this variety has done. So you need to pick the flower, and find stems that have finished flowering.
By taking cuttings, it not only gives you extra plants, but it also reinvigorates the existing plant. We are taking them through the winter, so it may be wiser to establish them in a pot, take them through the winter, then plant them out.
Salvias are herbaceous perennials mainly, easy to grow and low maintenance. They are fantastic for butterflies and bees, and you can plant them in most garden areas. A mainstay of midsummer blooming, with their aromatic flowers and they look so stunning in containers too.
We have a striking selection of 6 Established 9cm Salvias plants which are so popular.
