Pussytoes (Antennaria plantaginifolia) 12-pack of plugs
Can be shipped.
What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. Read more here.
Pussytoes is a very short groundcover that blankets the ground with its velvety leaves. It’s nearly identical to Prairie Pusstoes (Antennaria neglecta). It coexists nicely and surrounds other plants instead of out-competing them. Pussytoes can be used as a groundcover in alternative lawns, especially when mixed with grasses. Deer and rabbit-proof.
Substitution note: Depending on germination rates, we may substitute A. plantaginifolia and A. neglecta without notice. They are almost indistinguishable in appearance or growth habit.
