Antennaria dioica-Pussy-toes

Propagating Antennaria or Pussy-toes is accomplished by digging up the rooted rhizomes that spread out from the parent plant or by dividing the clump in the spring. This is one perennial that will grow in sunny poor conditions and tolerates drought. Blooms, depending on variety, can range from red, pink, white or blue and the plant reaches a height of 2"-4" and after flowering May-June, can be mowed and in some instances could be used as a lawn. It is evergreen, deer resistant, and will tolerate light foot traffic.
