Antennaria-Neglecta 1C

Field Pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta) is a charming native perennial groundcover featuring soft, silvery-green, woolly foliage that forms low, spreading mats, topped with delicate white to pale pink, fuzzy flower clusters in spring. Thriving in full sun to partial shade with dry to moderately moist, well-drained soil, this petite perennial is an excellent choice for rock gardens, naturalized areas, and low-maintenance borders throughout central Illinois. Field Pussytoes provides early-season interest, tolerates drought once established, and serves as a host plant for American lady butterfly caterpillars, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
