100 Seeds Prairie Pussytoes Antennaria neglecta Native Groundcover Drought Tolerant Perennial

Prairie Pussytoes is a low-growing native perennial that forms dense silvery-green mats of spoon-shaped foliage, topped in spring with small fuzzy white flower clusters that resemble tiny cat paws. It is valued for its quiet texture, early-season interest, and ability to spread steadily across sunny, open ground.
Ideal for native plantings, rock gardens, pollinator areas, and dry borders, Prairie Pussytoes works well as a groundcover between stepping stones or along meadow edges. Its soft gray-green rosettes stay attractive through the season, and the spring blooms offer early forage for small pollinators. Grow it in lean, well-drained sites where its mat-forming habit can be appreciated.
