Notes
'Georgia Blue' cut-leaf kittentail (Veronica umbrosa 'Georgia Blue') is a perennial for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal. It blooms in early to late spring and draws butterflies and hummingbirds. It also tolerates drought and salt, so it needs little care.
Pairs well with Blue flag, Greig's tulip, and Boxwood.
