Putting on a lovely flower show in the garden is the North American native (PA to Oklahoma) Antennaria solitaria, commonly known as the southern single-head pussytoes. We’ve always had a “thing” for pussytoes, a primarily North American genus of 70 species. Despite being native in acidic soils, our plants below are thriving in our alkaline crevice garden. The silvery/green winter foliage gives rise to this fascinating floral show in very early spring (NC). These are growing in dry rock crevices, where they get only an hour or two of morning sun. Hardiness Zone 5b-8b.
