Horehound? (Marrubium vulgare)


Santa Monica Mountain Range
Ahmanson Ranch (Upper Las Virgenes Canyon Open Space Preserve)
Family: Lamiaceae

Spring is approaching! We've had rain, and now it's a beautiful weekend for the year's first sunburn and a hike in the mountains. I've seen this plant around for a long time, but never knew what it was. I always thought it looked like a curly mint plant. Indeed, it may be. I'm not 100% sure this ID is correct. I have a hunch, though.

Have you heard of horehound candy? Google it.
