Antennaria neglecta (Field Pussytoes) is a stoloniferous, mat-forming perennial forming a carpet of small, fine-textured, silvery basal leaves adorned with a single conspicuous vein. In spring to early summer, the plant sends up erect stems, up to 12 in. (30 cm), boasting clusters of small, fuzzy, white flower heads. The flowers attract painted lady butterflies. The female flowers are followed by tufts of awned fruits that look frothy and resemble small dandelions. Easy, accommodating, and resistant to drought, Antennaria neglecta is a great small-scale groundcover for dry locations in both sun and shade. A cute-looking little plant for the rock garden or rocky slopes.
