Pussytoes

Antennaria Plantaginifolia

Design with this plant

Overview

Antennaria plantaginifolia, commonly known as Pussytoes, is a perennial groundcover that thrives in USDA zones 3-8. It boasts a low-growing, mat-forming habit, reaching 3-6 inches in height with a spread of 12 inches. Silvery-white to soft pink flower clusters resemble cat's paws, emerging in spring. Preferring full sun, it requires well-drained soil and is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for rock gardens and borders.
