  • Now they've flowered .....

    Help please :

    Chive and sage have both finished flowering - do I cut off the flowers?
    (And if I do, will they flower again ...?)

    Thanks

      I only know for Chive and the answer is yes, give it a nice haircut to about an inch above ground and give it a light liquid tomato feed, it will start growing and looking good again. No clue about sage, never grew it.

        Chive likes to self seed, so if they've finished I tend to chop them off at seed stage.
        Sage I just chop flower off when finished , I've not had mine flower til following yr though.
        And as above give me some tom feed.

          As the others said re chives. The sage needs quite a hard trim after flowering to stop it going leggy. Cut it back to a new shoot and away you go. Give the chives a haircut several timed during the season so you get nice young growth.
