Antennaria dioica 'Rubra' (Red-tinted Pussytoes)
This Pussytoes cultivar is known for its fuzzy, silvery-grey foliage and tiny, rosy-pink flowers that bloom in the spring. It is a great choice as a small scale groundcover, in rock gardens, and border plantings.
As with all Pussytoes, this spreads slowly to a foot or more from each plant, happy to be tucked around stones or between pavers, or just to define the front of the border. The flowers reach just 3-6 inches tall, and the dense foliage is semi-evergreen, providing year-round interest. The silvery-grey leaves make a striking contrast to other plants in the garden.
This is a tough plant suited to hot sunny locations with poor, dry soil. Very drought tolerant and easily divided in spring by separating the clumps. Deadheading is optional. Because it can thrive in poor soils, it is ideal for areas difficult to cultivate.
