The official SpringFest event wrapped up on April 16, but Lowe’s is keeping the party going for a little longer with a new round of deals that look a lot like what we saw during SpringFest. If you missed your chance to stock up on $1 annuals, $3.33 Bonnie plants, and other discounted flowers, you’ve got one last shot to grab them before prices jump back up. The SpringFest sale is the best lawn and garden event on Lowe's entire sale schedule.
Lowe's kicked things off earlier than ever this year, with the first round of SpringFest sale starting Thursday, March 20, and the second round of SpringFest deals taking place April 3 - 16, 2025. Lowe's is continuing the deals April 17 - 30, 2025 with a sale called "Spring Into Deals."
The $2 bags of mulch are always one of the best Lowe's deals we see during SpringFest — but now they're up to $2.50 per bag since SpringFest is technically over. But the deals on annuals, perennials, and soil are also noteworthy. You’ll even find discounts beyond the Garden Center, like deals on top tools (especially the battery-powered ones).

Best Lowe's Spring Deals Still Available
Lowe's SpringFest is an annual 4-week garden sale that famously includes $2 bags of mulch.
We consider Lowe's SpringFest a sort of Spring Black Friday, with deals on everything you need to get your garden ready for the season. Get $2 bags of mulch, plus best-of-the-year discounts on plants, paint, and pavers. It typically runs right alongside the Home Depot Spring Sale in April, but in 2025, Lowe's launched their sale a full two weeks earlier than usual.
KCL predicts the next Lowe's SpringFest Sale will start on Thursday, April 2, 2026.
Lowe’s threw us a curveball in 2025 and kicked off SpringFest earlier than usual — starting on Thursday, March 20, with a second round of deals running April 3 – 16. That earlier start time lined up more with what we saw in 2023, when the sale began in late March.
But based on historical trends, Lowe’s seems to stick to one of two patterns: Either starting SpringFest in late March or on the first Thursday in April. Since the first Thursday in April 2026 falls on April 2, that’s our best guess for when the sale will launch next year.
You can expect the sale to last about four weeks, with new deals featured in each week’s Lowe’s ad. The best ones are usually in-store (especially in the Garden Center), but there are always a few online-only offers too.
Here’s when SpringFest has started in past years and how long it’s lasted:
March 20, 2025 (28 days)
April 4, 2024 (27 days)
March 30, 2023 (34 days)
April 7, 2022 (27 days)
April 8, 2021 (14 days)
April 2, 2020 (14 days)
April 4, 2019 (14 days)
March 14, 2018 (15 days)
March 29, 2017 (12 days)
Submit a rebate to claim a Buy Two, Get One Free paint deal.
Lowe's typically drops a rebate deal on HGTV Home by Sherwin Williams paint for SpringFest. But during the 2025 sale, the offer included all 1-gallon and 5-gallon paints, including the Valspar and HGTV brands. If you bought two gallons of paint and submitted for the rebate, you’d get a Lowe’s gift card covering the cost of the third.
The paint rebate also applied to select Cabot stains. We see this offer pop up during multiple Lowe's sales throughout the year, and it’s always a sweet deal.
Sign up for a MyLowe's Rewards membership to claim exclusive Doorbuster deals.
Lowe's has been emphasizing their MyLowe's Rewards loyalty program more and more ever since it launched in January 2024. With the SpringFest sale, they have a handful of Doorbuster deals that are only available to rewards members. You can sign up for a MyLowe's Rewards membership online.
During the first round of deals, the member-exclusive deals included a Char-Broil 4-burner gas grill for $199 (regularly $249, 20% off), and a 4-piece patio furniture set for $298 (regularly $498, 40% off). And from April 3 - 7, members got access to deals like Bonnie herb plants for $3.33 (regularly $5.98, 44% off), a picnic table for $89 (regularly $139, 36% off), rocking chairs for $89 (regularly $129, 31% off), and more.
Find the best deals in-store.
The best offers are typically in stores (usually at the Garden Center), but they'll also have select deals available online at Lowe's.com.
Remember that some Garden Center deals are only available regionally.
If you live in a cooler climate, you'll likely see a different mix of deals available at the Garden Center during Lowe's SpringFest. For example, I live in the South and saw the $2 mulch deal in my weekly ad as early as March 20, while my colleagues in the Midwest didn't.
Your region will also determine which annuals and perennials will be in stock during the SpringFest sale.
Ways to Hack Lowe's SpringFest Sale
Shop for mulch at Lowe's instead of Home Depot to save $0.33 per cubic foot.
Lowe's spring sale notoriously has the best mulch deals you'll find all year. And their popular five for $10 deal on 2-cubic-foot bags of Premium Wood Mulch came back again in 2025. That's a $1 cost per cubic foot, which is tough to beat when considering all the best mulch sales we track during the year.
For example, Home Depot's Spring Black Friday Sale typically offers the same five for $10 deal, but it's for 1.5-cubic foot bags of mulch. That gives you a $1.33 cost per cubic foot. So you'll save $16.50 on 50 bags of mulch if you shop at Lowe's instead.
KCL TIP: Always calculate the cost per cubic foot when comparing mulch prices (the price of the bag divided by its size in cubic feet). Different brands come in different sizes, and this calculation will help you compare costs across brands.
Get 12-pack annuals for just $0.83 per plant.
One of the biggest spring sale showdowns between Lowe’s and The Home Depot is the $1 annuals deal. But Lowe’s takes it a step further — in 2025, you could get two 12-packs of annuals for $20, dropping the price to just $0.83 per plant.
