Notes

'Waterperry Blue' cut-leaf kittentail (Veronica 'Waterperry Blue') is a perennial for ground cover, containers, 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 soil of most types. Sky blue to lavender-blue flowers appear in late spring to early summer, and the shiny green leaves turn bronze in winter. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Let it spill over the edge of a pot.

Pairs well with Dancing Queen hosta, Queen of Night tulip, and Heather.
