Post #5229015

I have a white apiana sage plant that I received earlier this year and have it planted in a pot so that I can take care of it over the winter. It's outside in full sun, it's been dry, and it's growing great, the only thing is that it's growing as a single stalk straight up. It's gone from about a 4" plant to a 2' single stalk in a matter of a few months. Should I be pruning or topping it to force more growth? Ultimately I would like a bush instead of a single stalk! But I know that takes a few years. Basically I haven't touched it since I got it, so would love to know if it's ok to top it, what will happen, etc.

Thanks!
Kim
