Antennaria solitaria
Pussytoes Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Pussytoes is widely occurring throughout the eastern United States on open, dry, wooded slopes where it forms scattered mats of dark green or silver, 2 to 3 inch long, spoon shaped leaves. In spring, solitary, silvery white, pussy toe shaped fower heads appear on stalks 4 to 5 inches tall. This little plant is useful as a groundcover in shady dry places where is can form beautiful silvery mats which spread by white runners. New growth tends to be white and changes to dark green over time. Give it some shade, dry well drained (poor) soil, and NO mulch. Alumroot, Firepink, and Columbine would be natural companions.
