Pussytoes

Antennaria dioica 'Rubra' is a resilient, mat-forming perennial prized for its dense carpet of silvery-grey, semi-evergreen foliage. In late spring, it produces clusters of fuzzy, rosy-pink flowerheads that resemble a cat's paw, rising on short stems above the leaves. This tough cultivar thrives in full sun and poor, well-drained soils, making it an exceptional choice for rock gardens, alpine troughs, or as a drought-tolerant groundcover between paving stones. It is deer-resistant and attracts pollinators.
