 Pruning Spanish broom and Russian sage
All stems of the Russian sage and the catmint may be pruned back to almost ground level.
However, Russian sage and catmint may grow roots from the cut stems if the cut base is treated with rooting hormones and the plants are kept in a greenhouse or other humid location while the roots form.
Cuttings from Russian sage will probably be more successful in producing roots if you use cuttings taken in early summer (called softwood cuttings) rather than winter-pruned stems.
