Antennaria plantaginifolia (Pussytoes) is a stoloniferous, mat-forming perennial forming a carpet of paddle-shaped, smooth leaves, 3 in. long (7 cm). In spring to early summer, the plant sends up erect stems, up to 10 in. (25 cm), boasting clusters of small, fuzzy, white flower heads tinged with pink. However, the best part of this plant is its foliage. Low maintenance, Antennaria plantaginifolia is a great small-scale groundcover for dry, gritty to rocky locations in full sun. A cute-looking little plant for the rock garden or rocky slopes.
