They call it "salvia desperado" . And perhaps the winter foliage is different, it happens in lots of Greek salvia species

I was between the S. leucophylla and the S.Apiana...Could be an interspecies hybrid, too..

Thank you for the suggestion, Despina. The leaves of S. leucophylla are elongated and relatively smooth. I agree this one looks like Salvia with its inflorescence.
Probably gray sage (salvia leucophylla)
