Silver pussytoes (Antennaria argentea) is a low-growing, silvery-leaved perennial native to the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin. It thrives in well-draining soils with partial shade and requires very little supplemental water once established. An excellent choice for rock gardens, native plantings, or as a drought-tolerant ground cover in western landscapes.
