Notes
Cut-leaf kittentail (Veronica cinerea) is a perennial for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It grows 3 to 6 inches tall and spreads 6 to 12 inches, so it forms a low mat. Purple-blue flowers open in early to mid summer.
Pairs well with Alaska violet, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Stargazer lily.
