Culture Notes
This plant needs moist, cool soil that is in a partly shaded area.  Overly dry conditions will cause wilting of its leaves.  The silver spots appearing on the  leaves of  'Raspberry Splash' make its foliage quite attractive, even after its raspberry-pink flowers cease to bloom.  'Raspberry Splash'  is resistant to mildew, deer and slugs and provides a valuable source of nectar for honey bees.  Asexual propagation of this plant is prohibited.
