Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This charming little perennial is a great addition to the front of a perennial border, a parkstrip, a rock garden, or along the edges of a pathway. Silvery foliage grows 2 to 4 inches high, and plant may spread 18 inches. Flowers emerge late spring to early summer and are little rosy pink balls reminiscent of a cat's paw. Foliage stays attractive all summer and persists well into fall. It doesn't tolerate foot traffic, but it would be quite suitable between the pavers of a pathway.
