Purr-fect Pussy Toes

We love the miniature silver mats of Antennaria parviflora (little-leaf pussytoes). This little-known North American native (Canada south to Arizona) forms a tiny, 1″ tall groundcover that’s hard to the touch. In spring, the patch is topped with short fuzzy spikes of brush-like white flowers. The plant below, which measures 1′ in width, is only 18 months old from seed, and is growing in our rock garden in a well-drained mix of 50% Permatill. Hardiness is Zone 4b-7b.

  1. Can you please tell me where can I buy Permatill for my garden? I’ve heard that it’s an amazing product that is only sourced in North Carolina. I live in Raleigh and would love to buy it, but can’t find information on where it’s available for sale locally.

    Thank you!

  2. Also, I didn’t find Antennaria parviflora on your website. I would love to buy it. Will it be available for sale here at some point?
