Antennaria
Also called Pussy Toes
Antennaria, or pussytoes, is a genus of low perennial herbs in the daisy family, mostly from North America and the Northern Hemisphere, with a few species in southern South America. Most grow in dry, open, sunny sites with good drainage and spread by runners or by seed.
Antennaria is a genus of dioecious perennial herbs in the family Asteraceae, native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with a few species (A. chilensis, A. linearifolia, A. sleumeri) in temperate southern South America; the highest species diversity is in North America. Common names include catsfoot or cat's-foot, pussytoes and everlasting.
Different Antennaria species reach between 10 cm and 50 cm in height. The leaves are basal and often stem leaves. The name Antennaria refers to the projecting stamens seen on the male flowers of some species, resembling insect antennae.
