'Hocus Pocus' cut-leaf kittentail (Veronica 'Hocus Pocus') is a perennial for borders, containers, cottage gardens, and rock gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows up to 18 inches tall and 9 to 12 inches wide, with violet purple blooms. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the flowers, and it tolerates drought and salt. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
