Antennaria solitaria, commonly known as singlehead pussytoes, is a perennial herb in the Asteraceae family. It is native to open woodlands, forest edges, and meadows in the southeastern and east-central United States. This species typically grows up to 14 inches tall and is characterized by its solitary flower heads with white to pale pink flowers that bloom in spring. The foliage is a basal rosette of grayish-green leaves, and the plant is dioecious, with male and female flowers on separate plants, which contributes to its unique reproductive structure.

Singlehead pussytoes are valued for their low maintenance and ability to attract pollinators, such as butterflies. They are often used in native plant gardens, rock gardens, and as ground cover in sunny to partly shaded areas. They prefer well-drained soils and can tolerate dry conditions once established. While generally disease-free, they can occasionally suffer from root rot if grown in poorly drained soils. Singlehead pussytoes are not known for aggressive roots or invasiveness, making them a safe choice for various garden settings.CC BY-SA 4.0
