Pussytoes get their name from their fuzzy white flower-heads which look like the paws of a kitten. It is a drought resistant perennial ground cover that will colonize in very poor soil conditions. Its leaves hug the ground to conserve moisture. Deer and rabbits leave it alone, although it is the host plant for the American Lady butterfly.
