[Arid_gardener] green cloud sage

[Dot]

Hello, when I bought my house 5 years ago, it had 7 green cloud sage with the pinkish flowers. I'm having trouble with them and I found your May 2000 article and now I feel even more confused about care. They've been on a watering system that waters for 30 minutes three times a week in summer then down to one in winter. Thats the schedule that was set up for us by the landscape company and unless I hand water or we get a new scheduling box, I don't know how to fix that.

I try to prune all of them into a nice round shape to about 4-5ft high but Im never sure what time of year I should, or how often, to get them to fill in. Three of them on the west side of the house just look sad. They get the most sun and never quite fill in in the middle. I thought about putting moon dust on them in November and March but wasn't sure if that was best.

Can you give me a good care regimen for them? Is it too late to make them into nice full cupcakes? 
Thanks
Diane Serpa
