Other: Red Pussytoes are native to North America and thrive in conditions where many plants may not survive. They are ideal for “green roofs” as they can withstand heat and drought, and are capable of growing in poor, sandy, or clay soils. They can also tolerate some shade. Known for their deer resistance, they make an excellent choice for ground cover, and are suitable for rock or alpine gardens, or containers. Their compact size makes them perfect for miniature or fairy gardens. The plant features silvery, fuzzy foliage and produces fuzzy pinky red flowers that resemble cat’s paws, earning them their common name. The foliage and flowers are durable, making them excellent for use in dried floral arrangements. These plants are attractive to bees, including honey bees, and are a favorite among butterflies, such as the American Painted Lady. Additionally, they serve as a food source for birds like the Bobwhite Quail, which feeds on the seeds in the fall.
