Description: The late spring flowers look like tiny cat's feet, thus the name. Pussytoes are usually grown for their velvety leaves rather than the white to pale pink flower. Flowers will reach up to about a foot in height but the leaves grow at ground level. Spreading by rhizomes, this plant provide a good ground cover for dry areas such as rock gardens or in between flagstone steps. Watch for the Painted Lady caterpillars on the leaves, as this is a host plant for this wonderful little butterfly!
