Antennaria carpatica is a cold hardy, evergreen ground cover pussytoes with silver-green leaves and fuzzy white flowers.
Here’s one for a hot sunny location with poor, dry soil! Antennaria carpatica, commonly known as pussytoes, is a tough, cold hardy ground cover growing 3 to 6 inches tall with a 12 to 18 inch spread forming beautiful mounds or mats of silver-green foliage with short stems supporting fuzzy, white flower that look like feline toes. Requires well-drained, lean, gritty soil. A great easy-care ground cover and accent with texture and form for the alpine and rock garden, on rock walls, and between pavers. Cut or mow off flower stems after blooming. Attracts pollinators. Deer and rabbit resistant.
