Trichostema lanatum is the scientific name for woolly blue curls. It is a small evergreen shrub or sub-shrub native to arid coastal chaparral regions of California and the northern parts of Baja California.
It is also multi-branched and grows up to 5 ft. tall. The blue flowers are dense clusters, with the stem and calyces covered in woolly hairs of blue, pink, or white.

Sense of smell
Sense of love!
The flowers have fuzzy spikes and grow in abundance from May to August. The leaves are narrow and aromatic. In some gardens that I have visited, besides visual signs, they have Braille, too.
These flowers attract hummingbirds, too.
