This looks somewhat like a broom plant to me. It has lavender to green coloured newer growth. I can only find Viminaria juncea when searching on NM for a native broom. It is described as having lavender branches in colder climates but I cannot find a comparable picture to mine in the pics featured under that species on NM or elsewhere.
