watering
Woodrush Pussytoes should be watered every 3 to 4 days once the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. During the growing season (spring and summer) it is best to water deep in the soil. In hot or dry conditions, the plant should be watered more frequency (every 1-2 days). When temperatures drop in the fall and winter, the frequency of watering can be decreased to once every week.
sunlight
Woodrush Pussytoes thrive in areas with full sunlight throughout the majority of the day. The plant enjoys 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. It prefers direct sunlight 6 days a week, with light shade from mid-afternoon to early afternoon in high summer temperatures. Additionally, the plant is drought-tolerant and does not require much water after it is established. For best results, the plant should be judged with its location and length of direct exposure to the sun.
pruning
Woodrush Pussytoes (Antennaria luzuloides subsp. luzuloides) rarely require pruning. If necessary, selectively prune in late spring (May to June) to encourage air circulation and remove dead and damaged foliage. Always prune dead or diseased wood as soon as possible and never wait until the following spring. Be sure to use clean, sharp pruning shears or pruning saws to minimize damage to remaining healthy tissue.
