Alpine Pussytoes
Antennaria alpina
Alpine Pussytoes (Antennaria alpina) is an easy-to-grow mat-forming perennial boasting attractive silvery-white felted foliage and cheerful yellow flower clusters in summer. Growing best in well-drained soils, Alpine Pussytoes is drought tolerant and can thrive in sunny to part-shade positions. Its delicate foliage, low-growing habit and self-seeding tendencies make it ideal for rock gardens, edging, or as a low-care ground cover in any sunny location. A great choice for butterfly, bee, and other pollinator gardens. Its evergreen foliage and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for waterwise landscapes. Enjoy its sweet fragrance in spring or summer.
