Antennaria carpatica
Common name: Pussytoes
Zone 2 to 9,
Sun to part shade.
Mature foliage height 1 to 4 inches, 8 to 12 inches wide;
stoloniferous spreading evergreen groundcover.
Woolly silver-grey, almost white, foliage spreads to form a dense ground-hugging mat. Tight, white flower cluster resembles the pads or toes of a cat's paw. Light gray felt foliage slowly creeps to entirely cover the ground.
Very hardy, Antennaria carpatica grows best in lean, gritty to rocky, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soils, in full sun. Thriving in bright cool summers, hot and humid summers or consistently wet conditions can be problematic; good drainage is a must.
Tolerant of moderate foot traffic, Pussytoes' petite size makes it ideal for planting between stepping stones, in wall crevices, atop stone walls, or in other small spaces.
