April Home Depot Plant Sales
Spring Black Friday Sale
Sale Dates: Predicted April 3 - 27, 2025
Sale Highlights: $1.50 6-pack annuals, $2 soil
The absolute best time to buy plants on sale is during the Spring Black Friday event in April when discounts reach up to 70%. This is when Home Depot has the biggest selection of on-sale annuals and perennials — including marigolds, begonias, petunias, impatiens, dipladenia, hibiscus, and so much more.
The deals and types of plants will vary by location, especially since it’s still pretty cold in northern parts of the country at this time. Mid-to-southern states will see the largest selection of flowers, shrubs, and trees on sale during Spring Black Friday. But even northern areas will get their fair share of deals, particularly in the second wave of the sale.
Best Plant Deals:
Ground Cover, $1 (reg. $2.98)
Annuals, 6 ct, $1.50 (reg. $4.98)

You can also expect to save up to 50% on larger Bonnie veggie and herb plants (2.32 quart compared to 19.3 ounce plants).
Best Plant Deals:
Annual Hanging Flower Baskets, 1.8 gal, $7.50 (reg. $13.98)

The last major sale of the year for plant deals is the Home Depot Labor Day Sale, which happens in late August into early September. You’ll likely find a slimmer selection of plant deals compared to sales earlier in the year. But it’s your first shot at saving on mums for the early fall season. Savings usually range between 25% - 40%.
Best Plant Deals:

December Home Depot Plant Sales
Black Friday Sale

Sale Highlights: $1.25 poinsettias
The Home Depot Black Friday Sale isn’t just about power tools and appliances — it’s also a great time to grab seasonal plants at a steep discount. The biggest deal? Poinsettias are as low as $1.25. These festive plants typically start rolling into stores in early November, but the best savings hit during Black Friday week. If you’re looking to decorate for the holidays on a budget, this is the time to stock up.
Home Depot Plant Return Policy
Trees, perennials, houseplants, and shrubs have a 1-year guarantee under Home Depot’s return policy. So you have a full 365 days to return them as long as you still have your receipt.
What’s not covered under the 1-year plant guarantee: floral arrangements, cut flowers, and clearance plants.
Take advantage of bulk pricing.
Even outside of sales, you can save 10% - 20% with Home Depot’s bulk pricing:
10% discount applies to multi-packs of annual flowers, single 4.5-inch annuals, and ground cover plants.
20% discount applies to gallon-sized plants like rose bushes and ligustrum.
Home Depot plant availability depends on where you live.
The timing of Home Depot plant deals (and when you officially see a full selection) totally depends on your location. Stores located in warmer climates are always the first to stock up on plants for the season. That’s because each store schedules their plant inventory around the last frost date for the area.
You’ll start seeing robust plants (ones that are more frost-resistant) in the Garden Center about two to three weeks before your last frost date. Once that frost date passes, they’ll put out a full selection of flowering plants for spring.
You can use Almanac’s Interactive Frost Map to find the last frost date for your area and get a better idea of when you’ll see plants at your local Home Depot.
The best time to shop for plants is Friday mornings.
Home Depot releases a new weekly ad (with new deals) every Thursday. And because Home Depot often stocks up before the weekend crowds, you’ll have the largest selection to shop from on Friday mornings.
But if you’re looking for something in particular, ask someone in the Garden Center to find out when that item gets delivered. With that info, you can pick through products before they’re put out for display, getting the freshest and best-quality stuff.
KCL TIP: Home Depot usually waters plants first thing in the morning, so be sure to grab plastic for your car or you’ll face a muddy mess. There’s usually a bin with free plastic by the Garden Center checkout area.
Shop in-store for the best selection and prices.
Getting the best Home Depot deals on plants normally requires a trip to the store. Prices at your local Garden Center almost always beat online offers, even during major sales.
Some items are available online for free pickup or free delivery.
But if you’re strapped for time and can't get to the store, Home Depot does have free delivery on a selection of outdoor plants. HomeDepot.com offers free next-day delivery or in-store pickup within two hours on select plants. However, availability varies.
For example, a fruit tree might be eligible for free delivery but not in-store pickup, while a hanging basket of annual flowers may be in stock at your local store but unavailable for online order or delivery. Be sure to check product availability before adding plants to your cart.
