Pussytoes are a fantastic groundcover for nearly any situation. Stems bearing silver leaves creep along, flowing around rocks, other plants, and down slopes to cover exposed ground and prevent weeds from moving in. The grow quickly and reseed readily. In the spring, soft catkin-like flowers are held on 8” stems, giving the plants some temporary height.
We have many species of antennaria that are very similar and inhabit similar ecologic niches. Originally I offered Antennaria rosea, but due to genetic variability from my wild seed sources, the flowers were white as often as they were pink. Since the true strength of these Antennaria is the silver creeping foliage, I have decided to group the following species together:
Antennaria rosea
Antennaria parvifolia
Antennaria neglecta
Antennaria microphylla
You will receive one or more of these species. All have angular grey/silver leaves and fuzzy flowers with varying degrees of pink/cream/white. All are excellent creeping groundcovers that do well in full sun and part shade! I grow all these species alongside each other, and enjoy the patchwork effect from the slight variations in leaf size and shape.
If you have a strong preference for one species let me know and I'll see what I have, but note that unless they are actively blooming I cannot predict flower color.
