Cool Wave® Raspberry Spreading Pansy

Cool Wave® Raspberry is a spreading pansy with velvety rosy-purple flowers and a white center. Its flower colors shift with the season, showing more rosy-purple in cool weather and more white in warmer conditions. ## Growing conditions This cool-season annual suits baskets, patio planters, and low groundcover along a border. The [PanAmerican Seed Raspberry page](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/046706339004443/spreading-pansy-cool-wave-raspberry/) lists early spring, spring, late spring, autumn, and winter flowering, with a spreading, trailing habit and a 5a–11 range. It gives a mature height of 6–8 inches and spread of 24–30 inches. [North Carolina State Extension’s pansy guide](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/viola-x-wittrockiana/) recommends full sun to part shade and humus-rich soil that stays moist while draining well; it also describes pansies for borders, containers, and hanging baskets. ## Maintenance Deadhead faded flowers to encourage continued bloom. Keep soil consistently moist but well drained, and refresh the planting as summer heat arrives.
