A low-growing western native, Antennaria parvifolia (Small-Leaf Pussytoes) is a stoloniferous, mat-forming perennial forming a beautiful carpet of fine-textured, broad spatulate to oblanceolate, silver-gray leaves that remain attractive year-round. In summer, the plant sends up erect, reddish-green stems, up to 6 in. (15 cm), boasting clusters of small, rayless, creamy-white flower heads. The flowers attract painted lady butterflies. They are followed by fluffy seed. Fast-growing, easy, accommodating, and resistant to drought, Antennaria parvifolia withstands light foot traffic. Great as a pretty small-scale groundcover, between stepping stones, for the front of the garden or the rock garden, it is a valuable plant for dry areas.
