Landscape Use and Ecological Function: Rosy pussytoes is a larval host for the American Lady butterfly and attracts a wide variety of other butterflies and pollinators and is commonly consumed by caterpillars, though it quickly bounces back. We recommend planting this wildflower among native grasses, stonecrop, penstemon, and yarrow in a rocky or well draining sunny site in your yard. Also great in open woodlands and oak understories. Excellent in sunny pollinator gardens and grows well in pots too.
