Pruning Tips for Young Native Sages | Establishment Care

Give your native sages the best start! Extra pruning in their first year of establishment can set them up for a lifetime of thriving. By pinching your young sages, you'll not only promote better blooms but also shape them for a more attractive landscape.

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