Antennaria rosulata is a very small plant rarely growing more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the ground, spreading by means of horizontal stems running along the surface of the ground. Flower heads are generally borne one at a time, with male and female flowers on separate plants. The foliage is covered with silvery-gray hairs. It generally grows at low altitudes in the mountains, very often with big sagebrush, Artemisia tridentata.[2]
