AFAIK all varieties of rosemary are edible. Haven't heard that any
nastiness needed to be bred out of it. They will taste different though.
Rosemary is very easy to grow, particularly in a dry climate (as Las
Vegas is). Ours doesn't seem to ever have bloomed. Could have missed it
though...we do keep it cut back.
