A Three Year Old Selvia Is Robust But This Year Is Not As Profuse. Will Pruning It Produce An Increase In The Flowering

Question

The selvia is quite ‘bushy’ and the bushiness seems to be inversely related to the number of blossoms. I’ve dead-headed the plant on a regular basis to try and promote flowering but it doesn’t seem to have much effect….

Answer 1

While some salvia cultivars handle all kinds of growing conditions, if they get a ton of water, too much fertilizer (high nitrogen) or not enough sun, they might be a bit reluctant to bloom profusely.
