Antennaria neglecta (Pussytoes) 6-pack

Antennaria neglecta, also known as field pussytoes or neglected pussytoes, is a small, herbaceous plant species that belongs to the family Asteraceae. It is native to North America and can be found in many regions of the United States and Canada.

The plant typically grows to a height of 10-30 cm and has a basal rosette of leaves that are covered with dense, woolly hairs. The leaves are spoon-shaped, about 2-6 cm long and 0.5-2 cm wide. The stems are thin and also covered with woolly hairs.

Antennaria neglecta produces clusters of small, white or pinkish flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. The flowers are inconspicuous, with no petals and only a few small, scale-like bracts surrounding the base of the flower head. The male and female flowers are found on separate plants.

This plant prefers to grow in open areas with well-drained soil, such as fields, meadows, and prairies. It can tolerate a range of soil types, from sandy to clay, and is drought-tolerant once established. Antennaria neglecta is often used in wildflower gardens and can be attractive to butterflies and other pollinators.
