Notes: This Minnesota native's late spring flowers are white to pale pink and look like tiny cat's feet. The flowering stems reach 12" above a field of soft velvety leaves that hug the ground. Spreading by stolons, Pussytoes provide a good ground cover for dry areas. Deer and rabbits and other small animals won't touch them. They can often be seen growing in the paths in natural areas such as Minnesota's state parks.
