Description
Plantain-leaved pussytoes are a charming, low-growing groundcover ideal for dry spots in Massachusetts landscapes. A native member of the Aster family, Antennaria plantaginifolia spreads via stolons and produces velvety, silver-green leaves. In late spring, it sends up petite, white to pale pink blooms that resemble a kitten’s paw, giving the plant its whimsical name. The pussytoes plant is also known for its historic use as “Woman’s Tobacco.”
Perfect for rock gardens or dry slopes, plantain-leaved pussytoes offer texture and drought tolerance in tough locations. These plants remain low to the ground and naturalize well in sandy or gravelly soils. Though grown primarily for their foliage, the flowers of plantain-leaved pussytoes provide seasonal interest without overwhelming nearby plantings. For native beauty and easy care, add plantain-leaved pussytoes to your Massachusetts garden.
