Trichostema ‘Midnight Magic’

The genus Trichostema is a small group of shrubby plants in the Mint Family (Lamiaceae) native to North America. This one is a hybrid between Trichostema lanatum (native to California and Baja California, and commonly called “wooly blue-curls”) and T. purpusii (from Mexico). Its purple flowers last all through the warm months of the year, often continuing well into the winter.
