Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

This charming little perennial grows to form a dense mat of silvery foliage. Fuzzy white flowers that are reminiscent of a cat's paw form in early summer. No need to deadhead as they sort of just fade way. Grows 2 to 6 inches high and will spread about 18 inches. Tolerates light foot traffic, and so is suitable for the edges of pathways; also great in sunny parkstrips and rock gardens.
