Pussy toes (Antennaria) are such unassuming plants that they are easy to overlook. They easily lend themselves to being underfoot, thrive in the cracks between flagstones, have unspectacular flowers, subdued foliage, don't need a lot of water and are not fragrant.
In high-traffic areas, the plants do not produce flowering stems, but those that are away from footfalls produce the charming flower heads that give the plants their name. I think that the plants have a certain grace that would be terrific in pots or in elevated planting beds so that they could be appreciated up close.
