Antennaria parlinii is a North American flower plant known by the common name Parlin's pussytoes. It is widespread across eastern and central Canada and eastern and central United States, from Manitoba to Nova Scotia south as far as Texas and Georgia.
Antennaria parlinii grows up to 45 centimetres (18 in) tall. White flowers bloom April to June, with 4 to 12 or more flowerheads on a cluster at the top of the stems. The common name refers to the resemblance of the flowers to the toes of a cat. A. parlinii is very similar to the species Antennaria plantaginifolia (plantain leaf pussytoes), although the flowers of A. parlinii" are larger.
It grows in dry, rocky areas in full sun to partial shade. It prefers acid soil.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Height: 18", 45cm
Location: Sun to part shade
Seeds per packet: 10
Surface sow as light aids germination. Water the seeds in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to a bright room, but out of direct sunlight. Temperature 20-22C (68-72F). Germination is generally 14-45 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
