Plantain Pussytoes
Antennaria plantaginifolia
Add a dusting of silver to your garden with the beautiful foliage of plantain pussytoes. Despite being a diminutive plant with tiny flowers, plantain pussytoes can still add a lot to the garden. The velvety, grayish leaves of this stoloniferous ground cover almost sparkle in the sun, and the leaves provide food for the striking caterpillars of the American Lady butterfly. Plant in that sunny, lean, rocky, dry spot of your garden and watch it flourish.
