Faits intéressants
Field Pussytoes is a small, clump-forming perennial ideal for sunny meadows, prairies, or naturalized borders. Its low-growing, silvery foliage forms soft mats, while fuzzy white spring flowers add delicate texture and charm.
Field Pussytoes spreads gently by stolons, thrives in well-drained soils, and attracts native pollinators. It is hardy and easy to manage, and it works beautifully in rock gardens, native plantings, or as part of a low-maintenance groundcover mix.
