Pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta)

  

     Pussytoes are a native, perennial. This small plant stands four to eight inches tall. Three to 10 white, fuzzy 1/4-inch flowers form a one-inch round cluster on top of a single fuzzy stem. They have spoon-shaped, single veined basil leaves. The leaves are one to two inches long and covered in white hairs.  The leaves on the stems are only 1/4 inch long. Pussytoes enjoy dry soil in sun or shade in open woodlands or rocky outcroppings. (EW)
