Cat's ear

Cats-ear (Antennaria) - Mostly hardy alpine or border flowers. A. margaritacea is a North American plant, 2 feet high, with flowers in clusters, white and chaffy, hence kept in a dry state and dyed in various colors. The pretty but rare A. triplinervis from Nepal is closely allied to this plant. The Mountain Cats-ears, A. dioica and A. alpina, and such forms as A. minima, are neat little plants with whitish foliage, used as carpeting. All are of simple culture in ordinary soil in exposed positions. These are good rock garden plants, and the pretty little rosy heads of one form of the Mountain Everlasting may often be seen in the cottage gardens of Warwickshire. A. tomentosa has been much used as a dwarf silvery plant in the flower garden.
