Showing my ignorance but I didn't realize Rosemary was a Salvia. I always knew it as Rosemary officinalis. Guess that is another change.

I have grown it over the years. The regular one becomes a bit huge (woody) and then hollow in the lower branches and middle. I am currently growing a trailing rosemary. It keeps a lower profile and is more manageable.

This one is not prolific with blooms but yes, the bees are fond of them.

I use it for meats and roasted vegetables. My current favorite is sweet potatoes, cubed with onions, garlic, olive oil, salt, pepper and finely chopped rosemary. Roasting all in the oven till browned. It is wonderful. And now I'm hungry again. Whistling
