NATIONAL WAVE DAY | MAY 3
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Inaugural National Wave Day to Sweep the Nation on May 3rd, Celebrating 30 Years of Garden Innovation
May 1, 2026 - Gardening enthusiasts and color-seekers across the country are preparing to ride the most vibrant wave in history. Wave® Gardening and the National Day Calendar® are proud to announce the inaugural National Wave Day, taking place on May 3rd.
Established to honor the 30th anniversary of the legendary Wave® Petunia brand, National Wave Day celebrates the beauty, resilience, and lasting impact these flowers have had on American landscapes. Since the original “Wave Purple Classic” debuted in 1995—winning over trial judges with its unprecedented spreading habit—the brand has grown into a global gardening phenomenon.
"National Wave Day is about more than just a plant; it’s about the joy and confidence that gardening brings to everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros," says Wave® Gardening. "With Mother’s Day just one week away, May 3rd is the perfect time to celebrate the 'living color' that has transformed our backyards and communities for three decades."
How to Celebrate National Wave Day:
The public is encouraged to "Paint the Town Pink" and participate in the festivities in several ways:
Plant a Wave: Add a burst of color to your garden with varieties like the "Big Kahuna" Tidal Wave® or the high-impact Shock Wave®.
The Gift of Living Color: Surprise a neighbor or loved one with a potted Wave® petunia to brighten their doorstep.
Think Pink: Wear pink or incorporate the signature Wave® pink color into your food and drinks during the day.
Share the Joy: Use the hashtag #NationalWaveDay on social media to share photos of your garden, memories of your favorite blooms, and tips for fellow gardeners.
National Wave Day was officially approved by the National Day Calendar Registrar in 2026 to be observed annually on May 3rd. It serves as a reminder of the "Wave" movement that began thirty years ago, turning ordinary yards into extraordinary, lush carpets of color.
