Wave Petunias to Celebrate 30th Anniversary in 2025

After 30 years, the Wave brand remains so special to the horticulture industry not only for its pioneering ways, but because it continues to evolve and meet the needs of the new consumer.

We have an amazing anniversary year planned that will excite the consumer, create a positive buzz around our industry, and build business for our PanAmerican Seed customers.

In 2025, Wave® Petunias from PanAmerican Seed will reach an industry milestone celebrating 30 years of the petunia gardeners trust. Since its debut in 1995, the brand in its distinctive pink packaging has drawn shoppers and fans by the millions as Wave Petunias and Wave Pansies help them grow and feel like a pro. To commemorate such an important anniversary – and help greenhouses and retailers take advantage of extra consumer interest – PanAmerican Seed announces several exciting plans beginning this spring.

First, we are pleased to share that the brand now has an official consumer holiday: National Wave Day is May 3. Stay tuned for a list of festivities as the Wave Petunia team counts down to the kickoff of its new holiday celebration.

Next, to further confirm that Wave is Growing™, PanAmerican Seed will be unveiling a new addition to its Wave Pansies line. Top Wave™ will debut in California during the annual Spring Trials (CAST) event at the Santa Paula location. Registration will be open soon for members of the industry to get a first look.

Then, to build upon the Wave brand’s larger-than-life vision of colouring the world with flowers through thoughtful and engaging collaboration with trend-setters, tastemakers, and creatives, Wave Petunias will be launching an exclusive partnership with a renowned artist who will use Wave Petunias in a very special way to herald new growth, hope and possibility. More details to be revealed in the months to-come.

Promotional Kits Available Soon

To help greenhouse growers and garden retailers prepare for the increased interest in Wave Petunias throughout 2025, a full promotional package will be made available free of charge in November. Advanced access to these marketing assets (Videos, Signage, Social Media Posts, Handouts, etc.) will give the industry the tools it needs to plan local and more personal events with the Wave brand.

For best availability of Wave Petunia colors and mixes for our 30th anniversary, be sure to contact your preferred supplier for seed and plugs.

The Wave petunia program of genetics, seed production collaboration, marketing to the home consumer, and licensing with Kirin the original breeder of Wave demonstrated that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step. The team work among the PanAmerican team, the retailers. Kirin Brewing, and especially the PAS customer base helped cement the reputation of the Wave brand at the consumer level.
