Peaceful plants include healing plants, and those flowers
and fruits and plants that evoke gentleness and kindness.

Rosemary: remembrance
Wood Sorrel: good wishes
A single rose: love
zinnia: thoughts of you, or thoughts of absent friends
There are flowers whose fragrance is said to promote peacefulness. Here is a list compiled from
several sources:
...and from Garden Flower Folklore by Laura C. Martin:
Spanish priests were said to have grown cosmos in their gardens
as a symbol of harmony. Forget-me-not (Victorian) for friendship, loving remembrance,
fidelity. Lavendar flowers were used externally to calm anger and to relieve
headache. Roman messengers with peaceful messages often carried verbena with them.
Chrysanthemum: to the Chinese, rest and ease. To the Japanese: long life and
happiness.
