Absolutely, deadhead the spent stalks. Water moderately. Salvias are
generally water misers and love bright light.

I'm in NE Alabama, zone 7. The salvia was in full bloom when I planted it
about 2 weeks ago, got it at Lowe's. There was no identification tag on
it.
It's a nice size clump but most of the flower stalks are spent. I'm not
seeing much new growth, and the spent stalks are falling over so I was
wondering if I need to remove the spent flower stalks to encourage new
blooms. Thanks for the great link!
