OTHER: Red Pussytoes are native to North America. They grow well in places most plants would fail! Use them for “green roofs”. They can tolerate heat & drought with no problem, & can grow in poor, sandy, or clay soil. They are also able to tolerate some shade. Pussytoes is deer resistant & makes a great ground cover, rock or alpine garden plant, or container plant. Their short stature also makes them wonderful for miniature or fairy gardens!
The foliage of Pussytoes is silvery & fuzzy, & they have fuzzy pinky red flowers. They get their common name from their blooms that grow in the shape of cat’s paws. This “everlasting” flower has evergreen leaves & flowers that were just made for cutting & drying. Both look wonderful in arrangements, & will have everyone asking what they are!
The blooms will attract bees including honey bees. Not only do butterflies adore the blooms & will stop by frequently, Pussytoes is also a host plant for the American Painted Lady Butterfly. Birds including Bobwhite Quail enjoys enjoy eating its seeds in fall.
