A small, mat-forming perennial that thrives in dry fields, plains, slopes, grasslands, and open woodlands, Field Pussytoes is as useful as it is delightful. With its silvery leaves and spreading habit, this dainty plant can form a beautiful and hardy ground cover, perfect for garden bed and pathway edges. In the spring, a floral stalk rises from the basal rosette followed by white flower clusters that resemble the soft pads of a cat's paw. While often overlooked because of its diminutive size, for the right gardener with a keen eye, Field Pussytoes is bound to become the next beloved star of your garden.
