ANTENARIA MICROPHYLLA, Rosy Pussytoes 3.5″ pot

The name is almost as simple as it sounds… the small fuzzy flowerheads resemble a kitten’s toes!

This evergreen groundcover can be found from coastal locations up to 5000′ or higher along meadow edges and rock outcroppings.  It spreads by runners underground rhizomes, creating a mat with 2-12″ flower stalks coming up out of the older leaf rosettes May-July.  Foliage is gray and wooly, with rosy pink and pearly white blooms.  Prefers full sun and average soil.  Excellent choice in pollinator gardens!!
