Trichostema lanatum – Woolly Blue Curls
Native to dry slopes in California’s southern Coast Ranges, this attractive evergreen shrub brings fuzzy violet-blue flower spikes and narrow aromatic leaves to sunny, well-drained gardens. Both flowers and foliage carry a sweet fragrance reminiscent of freshly cut cedar with a hint of lavender, making it a delightful sensory addition to native landscapes. Blooming from spring into fall, Woolly Blue Curls also makes an excellent cut flower. Allow room for its broad habit and provide good drainage with low watering once established.
