Most people smile when they see a colorful, sweet-smelling garden of flowers, but the health and happiness benefits last long after that! From improved mood to lowered anxiety, psychologists studying well-being believe in the power of flowers.

This article covers five science-backed benefits that prove flowers could be the health hack you need in your daily life.

A Lasting Impact on Happiness
It makes sense that you'd feel happier after adding bright, vibrant flowers to your garden, but science has officially confirmed this feeling a fact! A recent behavioral study concluded that individuals expressed "true" smiles around fresh flowers and reported a genuine lift in their mood.

If you're looking for a way to brighten someone's day, gifting beautiful Wave Petunias is a great place to start. Because the recipient will look at their garden regularly, you'll be giving the gift of happiness all summer long!

Relief from Anxiety and Depression
We’re certainly not claiming that flowers are a cure for a clinical diagnosis, psychologists have started to recognize and promote the benefits of flowers for reducing stress and anxiety levels.

A significant amount of research has shown that when people look at flowers, they get a boost in mood, energy, and happiness while also experiencing a decrease in feelings of agitation, depression, and what we would simply call "the blues." The next time you or a loved one could use a pick-me-up, consider scheduling a day to plant bright and beautiful petunias.

Increased Creativity
According to a study released by the Society of American Florists (SAF), experts recorded a boost – up to 15% – in creative, flexible solutions when flowers were present.

If your home office overlooks a section of your backyard or has windows positioned toward the garden, adding fresh flowers to the space could be the work-from-home hack you need!

Enhanced Purpose and Fulfilling Responsibility
It might sound backward, but adding responsibilities to your daily routine can make you feel calmer and more in control. Caring for a living thing that requires your attention to survive provides a particular type of satisfaction.

That means when you take a stroll outside to water your Wave Petunias on a spring or summer day, you’ll be just a little bit happier when you hang up the hose and go about the rest of your day.
