Plantain Pussytoes

Named for its white tufted flowers that look like tiny cat's feet, Field Pussytoes is a delightful little plant, and especially attractive when it blooms in small patches. Reaching only a foot high or less, a single stem is topped with a fuzzy white flower, while the leaves hug the ground. An excellent rock garden plant, Pussytoes are also known for their soft, silvery basal leaves, which spread to form a low groundcover in dry areas.
