Echium candicans
Woody plant with silver-green leaves and tall spikes of purple and pink flowers.
Along trail with various flowers and mixed chaparral.
This plant is not native and is considered invasive. The California Invasive Plant Council (Cal-IPC) lists plants that cause serious problems in native ecosystems. In the 2006 list, Cal-IPC classifies the statewide impact of Echium candicans as limited (plant profile).
Thank you misako.hill and Bernadette. It really is a beautiful plant. Too bad it's so invasive.
