Antennaria dioica Rubra

Antennaria dioica rosea

Pussy Toes, is a semi-evergreen perennial plant that produces a rosette of spoon-shaped leaves and smaller leaves arranged spirally up the flowering stems. The flowers are produced in capitula with pale pink ray florets and darker pink disc florets. It is now rare in lowland England and Wales, but is widespread in upland areas of northern England, north Wales, Ireland, and Scotland. For best results, grow Antennaria dioca in a hot, sunny spot in poor, dry soil. It looks beautiful when combined with creeping thyme. Simply cut off or mow flowers after blooming.
