Antennaria plantaginifolia | plantain-leaved pussytoes

A delightful spring-bloomer, plantain-leaved pussytoes has low-growing fuzzy gray-green foliage that spreads slowly to form a charming deer-resistant groundcover. This species happily grows in tough sites—including nutrient poor sandy, gravelly, and rocky soils, preferring full sun or partial shade. Tolerates some foot traffic and mowing, but needs a location free from competition with more aggressive, taller plants.
