This is a great video. I did exactly what you described and let them just go crazy. All of the Sages laid out. Cut them back last fall. They grew back out but look very weak and unnatural. Will be replanting this fall and will follow these tips. Thanks for all these new videos, they are extremely helpful to us rookies.

My new white sage had a wonderful flower stem and it broke just like you said. I had assumed it was broken from an animal. Anyway, what should i do now in July almost August. I did nothing and planted my plant last winter. thanks

Just the first year? What about the following years?

We have a video in the works about yearly pruning and maintenance for white sage, subscribe and stay tuned! :)

does this also apply to the fragrant pitcher sage? I notice they get tall and tend to break off too.

Yes, you can absolutely cut back young Lepichinia fragrans to promote a bushier form as it establishes.
