Romneya coulteri - Californian Poppy


     Hi everyone - it is good to be back on the medit-plants list after a 
     few weeks absence.
     
     My garden is well and truly looking like a winter garden - I am 
     currently doing the annual tidy up of my herbaceous/ shrub borders and 
     was wondering if anyone has had experience in managing Romneya 
     coulteri?
     
     Can I prune the stems back to keep it under control and looking fresh 
     - I was hoping to prune to about a foot above the ground? Will it 
     reshoot from the stems or the base? My garden doesn't get much frost 
     (too close to the sea) - so could I prune now or would I have to wait 
     for spring? (If it has any relevance, now is the right time for me to 
     prune my roses.) Has anyone had success in transplanting suckers?
     
     Also does anyone have experience with Salvia patens - it is looking 
     very sad at the moment - can I also prune it back now or should I wait 
     until it reshoots in the Spring?
     
     Susan
