Can I cut back straggely and woody salvia's? They have been reaching for the sun under a laburnum tree and look unsightly. Best get rid or will it survive a hard prune, if so when? Thank you.

Not now, no, I'm afraid they should be left to overwinter, then pruned back as growth begins next year.

Could you move them to a sunnier spot?

Yes I will do. I really want to dig up all my borders and have a really good re-organisation but am a little intimidated to do it! (on my own) so instead I am trying to do doing little bits at a time. Also will give laburnum tree a trim on the lower branches to let some more sun in. Have ordered some epimediums to plant underneath, they will hopefully like their semi shaded spot.
