Antennaria plantaginifolia Plantain-leaved pussytoes from New Moon Nurseries

Antennaria plantaginifolia

Plantain-leaved pussytoes

Native to North America

Flowers, April through June, are white with a gentle kiss of pink. Excellent ground-cover for dry, and shallow rockly soils in full sun. Stoloniferous, and allelopathic, they spread to form a weedless ground-cover. Plants are dioecious, meaning male and femail flowers are born on seperate plants. Attracts bees, butterflies, and other insects. Must have lean dry soils to perform well.
