Rosemary question

20 years ago

Hi,

I have a rosemary plant that I grew from seed about 5 years ago (I don't know what variety), and it came in full bloom for the first time this spring. It was very beautiful with my Purple Sensation alliums, and the bees loved it! I also saw a ladybug in the flowers, too!

Now the flowers are all brown and ugly, and the stems below the flowers are bare, and kind of dark brown. Is this normal, or is this some kind of die-back? There is new growth coming up above where the flowers were, though. But it's so ugly below it!

Would it work to shear off the dead flowers? Should I prune away the branches that don't look very good?

Thanks!
