Yes, give your Salvia greggii a haircut to remove the spent flower spikes. You can do this with pruning shears, a hedge trimmer, or with a string trimmer. The salvia are a good choice for people who suffer an overabundance of deer as deer usually leave these plants alone. However, when deer are hungry, they may eat almost anything.

My Salvia greggii have bloomed well for most of the winter. Should I cut off all those old blooms, and will it keep on blooming all summer? The deer don't eat most of the salvias.
