Rushleaf pussytoes is a slow-growing, mat-forming perennial native to mountainous regions of western North America, ideal for rock gardens, alpine plantings, or dry borders. It thrives in lean, well-drained soils with moderate watering and is quite drought-tolerant once established. This low-growing ground cover produces delicate, fuzzy white flower heads in summer and requires very little maintenance.
