Trichostema lanatum x purpusii 'Midnight Magic' - Midnight Magic Blue Curls

Description

A hybrid of our native T. lanatum- Woolly Blue Curls, and the Mexican species T. purpusii- a smaller, pink flowering sub-shrub.  This hybrid is much more stable in the garden than our straight species and doesn't require such an extreme amount of drainage.  It retains the same AMAZING scent, as well as the same lovely purple flowers, though they are a bit less "woolly."  It is a more dense and compact shrub, comparitively, as Woolly Blue Curls can become quite leggy.  It is not frost tolerant and will likely not survive below 25 degrees.  A very long bloomer from spring into fall.
