Notes

'Heraud' cut-leaf kittentail (Veronica 'Heraud') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It bears violet blue flowers in spring, summer, and autumn. Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
