The spring and summer flowers of Woolly Blue Curls (Trichostema lanatum) are loved by bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, and a favorite of California native plant gardeners. This very hardy, drought tolerant shrub was extremely important to indigenous Americans, who used almost all parts of the plant for medicinal uses, especially for stomach ailments and to improve memory. Indeed, it became so important that it was used as a currency at times. According to the local Native American tribe, the Kumeyaay, if a woman bathes in a bath with woolly blue curls, no man will be able to resist her.

Tea made from sprigs of woolly blue curls is extremely tasty, with a soothing, calming effect. Woolly blue curls tea is made by boiling the leaves and stem in water for about 5 minutes.
