plant sale text: Big-head pussytoes is a stoloniferous, mat-forming native perennial with velvety grayish leaves and fuzzy tall flower stalks. In the summer, it has teeny tiny seeds that are attached to a hairy fluff that aids in wind dispersal. This species does well in dry, well-drained soils and can spread to form an interesting ground cover.
