It grows up to 4.8 inches (12 cm) tall with a spread of 20 inches (50 cm). Flowers are small, mauve with prominent golden stamens and appear in clusters in summer. Grow Pussy Ears in a bright spot for the happiest plant. It likes high light but tolerates medium light. When Pussy Ears doesn't get enough light, it can get leggy, with long stems between the leaves. Water Pussy Ears when the top inch (2.5 cm) or so of the potting mix is dry. Take care not to let the potting mix stay wet or soggy for extended periods. If the roots stay too wet, this plant can rot.
