Antennaria anaphaloides, commonly known as pearly everlasting pussytoes, is a low-growing native perennial ideal for rock gardens, alpine plantings, and naturalized areas with well-drained to average soils. It tolerates partial shade and requires very little supplemental watering once established. Its silvery foliage and small everlasting flower heads add year-round texture to the garden with minimal upkeep.
