Plantain-leaved Pussytoes have white flowers that bloom on a stalk above gray/green leaves. In well-drained soils, this plant spreads by stolons to create a dense mat. Male & female flowers on separate plants. The male plants host round flowering heads and the female flowers have elongated blooms. Leaves are semi-evergreen.
