when to prune russian sage

Question

Had a hard freeze early October and the sage froze. When should I cut it back and how far?

Answer 1

If you want to tidy up, this article says they can be cut back to a foot above the ground. You should definitely mulch them for the winter. Or you can just wait till spring and cut them back to the first set of leaves.
