Welcome to our favorite time of year! Do you have spring fever yet? We sure do, and the countdown has begun to May 3rd – our very own holiday – National Wave Day.

Tis the season to reaquaint yourself with your garden, to wake it up from any winter sleepiness, and get it in-shape for new and emerging flowers for the gardening season.

What are you most excited about? How will YOU celebrate National Wave Day?

The Wave Crew has you covered with these Top 10 Ways to Celebrate Wave Day. You can also visit our Wave Day webpage to download coloring sheets, party invites, social badges and more. Cheers to you, Wave Fans, and happy spring!

1 Host a planting party – Get some friends together to pot-up colorful mixed containers (featuring your favorite Wave® Petunias and Wave® Pansies, of course).

2 Plant something pink – It’s our signature color, so go for it! A window box, the front porch, that sunny spot near the garage. Everything’s better with a bit of pink.

3 Give a gift of living color – Know someone who could use a flower in their life? Caring and nurturing a small pot of Wave Petunias or Wave Pansies elevates your emotional mood for sure.

4 Reach new heights – Top off your welcoming front entry with a hanging basket of spreading Wave Petunias or Wave Pansies. They’ll be the first cheerful thing guests see when they visit.

5 Pair a new plant – Time to be adventurous in your garden! Pick a new Wave Petunia partner for your summer mixed container and see what happens.

6 Honor Mom – We chose May 3rd for a reason. Mother’s Day in the U.S. is just around the corner! Don’t forget to spread happiness by gifting the special women in your life.

7 Foodie fun – Try to incorporate our signature pink color in the things you eat and drink on May 3rd. Or maybe try a culinary recipe using Wave Pansies (they’re delicious).

8 Remember a loved one – What better way to relive happy memories of a departed friend with a flower planted on their behalf. Plant a memorial garden for a season of reflection.

9 Pink in the wild – It’s spring; we know you’re shopping for plants. Wear something pink on Wave Day to spark smiles at the garden center. Embrace color!

10 Surprise and delight – May 3rd is your chance to be a sneaky gardener. Drop a potted plant off at a friend’s doorstep. Surprise a neighbor with Wave Petunias. Plant some seeds in the community. Spread happiness with spreading Wave Petunias!
