Antennaria plantaginifolia – Pussytoes
Adored in the garden for its fuzzy silvery-green foliage and fun, unique flowers, this Illinois and Missouri native plant, Pussytoes, Antennaria plantaginifolia, grows into a dense mat-forming ground cover that thrives in dry, poor soils. In spring, furry white flowers that remind people of cats’ paws bloom on tall stems.
Pussytoes is ideal for your hottest, driest areas with poor, rocky soil where little else will grow. Pussytoes prefers a tough spot and will not thrive if the soil is too rich. Pussytoes, also called Mouse Ears, is the host plant for the American Painted Lady butterfly, meaning their caterpillars prefer to eat Pussytoes.
Plant in full sun. Plant in gritty rocky soil that drains well.
