Stoloniferous, ground-covering perennial with ornamental semi-evergreen gray leaves and unique, woolly, whitish flowers. It spreads wide to form mats, with budding stems that resemble the pads or toes of a cat's paw.
It does not grow well in soil that is overly rich or does not drain well, preferring average to dry, well-drained, acidic mediums.
Its best use is as a ground cover in smaller areas, in the front of drier flower beds, rock gardens, rocky slopes, open woodland areas, prairie areas or other lean, rocky areas in the landscape. Looks excellent intermingled with moss phloxes (Phlox subulata, Phlox nivalis), Clinopodium arkansanum, and others.
Other common names include Mouse Ear, Plantain Pussytoes, and Ladies' Tabacco.

Like every other plant I received in this and previous orders from US Perennials, the Antennaria plantaginifolia looks healthy and well-grown. I've planted it in a bare, dry spot at the edge of a "lawn" that's already intermixed with Gaultheria procumbens and sedges. I hope it takes.
Product arrived quickly and was well packaged. The plant itself looks great, very healthy. Thank you
