![rosemary (2) | Walter Reeves: The Georgia Gardener](https://t9e4s3i5.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/rosemary-2-600x900.jpg)
Q: I have some rosemary that has been in the ground about five years and it is huge and beautiful. I noticed this year it started flowering and the limbs that flowered died. What should I do? Is this normal?
A: Rosemary typically lasts about five years before becoming woody and rangy. Cut back the dead stuff and see if what’s left is attractive, if not, replace it.
