This year, you can get your spring garden ready with some of our favorite plants and garden solutions. From dahlias to butterfly bushes, this list rounds up 26 standout plants, bulbs, and seeds available at Costco for spring gardening.
If you’re as excited about spring as we are, you’re already planning new flower beds or deciding how to bring fresh energy to your existing ones. If you didn’t realize before that Costco is a reliable source of affordable flower bulbs, plants, and shrubs, now is the perfect time to take a closer look. These selections add texture and color, with popular cultivars suited to a range of growing conditions. Each pick highlights ideal growing conditions and why it offers strong value at Costco. This curated list offers everything from shade-loving perennials to bright evergreens and spring-flowering shrubs. If you’ve been waiting for the right prices to add more of the plants you love to your garden, you’re sure to find something that will catch your eye.
Shade plant collection
Our first pick isn’t at the top of the list by accident. The Longfield Gardens Astilbes and Hostas are a practical starting point for anyone wanting to grow a gorgeous, healthy shade garden. For $54.99, this selection includes 20 bareroot plants, and you can choose from hostas, astilbes, or a mix of both. Each bare-root collection includes five eyes of four different cultivars, and since there’s very little overlap, you can buy one of each for even more variety. That makes this a budget-friendly way to fill low-light areas in your yard.
Sun loving plant collection
On a similar note, if you have a bare, sunny spot in your yard, the Sun Loving Landscape Mix from Longfield Gardens is a great way to fill it up without having to spend a lot of time planning and shopping. This 60-bulb collection of heat-tolerant plants includes dahlias, lilies, cannas, and gladioli and costs $57.99. Ideal for pollinator gardens and adding extra curb appeal, these flowering bulbs offer maximum color. Pre-ordering is a good task to do in February to prepare for your best spring garden, no matter where you live in the United States.
Dahlia collections
Although Costco lists plants like gladioli and dahlias as annuals, these are actually popular perennials that you can overwinter in the fall for strong and healthy plants in the spring. Many gardeners can’t get enough dahlias, making this pick a solid choice for anyone who loves these lush blooms. Costco offers three different collections of the Longfield Gardens Dahlias, including peach, red, and a bright color mix. For $54.99, each set includes two bulbs of six different varieties, making it an affordable way to create a bold summer display in containers, flower beds, or mass plantings.
‘Sunshine’ ligustrum
There’s a lot of potential curb appeal on this list, including stars like ‘Sunshine’ ligustrum (Ligustrum sinese ‘Sunshine’), also known as Chinese privet. The vibrant yellow foliage of this cultivar makes it a top choice for adding instant color to your landscape. From Costco, you can purchase a Perfect Plants ‘Sunshine’ Ligustrum 2-pack for $69.99, carefully packed and shipped together in one box. This spring, these larger specimens are ready to make an impact, whether you’re creating a cohesive hedge, adding structure to a container garden, or polishing off foundation plantings.
Boston ferns 2-pack
Another smart Costco pick for your spring garden is a two-pack of Easy to Care Boston Ferns in 10-inch Pots for $54.99. While these houseplants won’t survive overwinter outdoors in colder climates, Boston ferns (Nephrolepis exaltata) are popular for adding greenery and texture to outdoor living areas like entryways, back porches, patios, and pergolas. The feathery texture of fern foliage is used as a filler in mixed containers, and can help soften the edges of hardscaping features like railings, steps, and stone patios. Because they arrive as a matching pair, it’s easy to create a balanced, symmetrical look in outdoor spaces.
Bareroot fruit collection
Edible plants are shaping up to be a sustainable gardening trend for 2026, and with so many homeowners looking to add more herbs, fruits, and vegetables to their gardens to reduce their grocery costs, the Longfield Gardens Bareroot Fruit Collections is sure to be a popular choice. Priced at $74.99, this pack includes 38 plants, adding red raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and grapes to your small fruit orchard. These plants can be incorporated into flower beds, patio containers, and vegetable gardens. Pre-order this bareroot collection now, and it should reach you at the right time for spring planting in your area.
Berry bushes 3-packs
If you’re looking for a more targeted way to add edible berries to your landscape, Costco also offers value packs of potted berry bushes. Choose from Costco’s blackberry or blueberry Berry Bush Collection 3-packs for $44.99. Berry bushes offer a multifaceted way to enjoy and interact with your garden, from appreciating the flowers and pollinators to harvesting juicy fruit and watching birds sneak off with fresh berries. Along with other annuals and perennials, berry bushes are an excellent way to add refugia for beneficial insect populations and can help you develop a more diverse ecosystem in your backyard.
Blue hydrangeas 3-pack
If you want instantly coordinated foundation beds and borders, look no further than Costco for a multi-pack of blue hydrangeas (Hydrangea macrophylla). Available at $94.99, you get three bareroot plants in this Longfield Gardens Blue Hydrangeas collection. These are two-year-old plants that measure about 18 inches tall. Hydrangeas are a cottage-garden favorite that pair well with some of the other shade-loving plants on this list. To create a uniform planting that’s ideal for refreshing older landscapes, choose from two popular cultivars: the taller ‘Nikko Blue’ or the everblooming ‘Endless Summer’.
‘Summer Crush’ Hydrangea
Bundled bareroot shrubs offer incredible value over potted plants, and they’re a good way to keep your landscaping budget in check without sacrificing visual impact. Make a strong statement with Costco’s ‘Summer Crush’ Hydrangea 3-pack, a cultivar with flowers that start white and turn to a dark pink. Like blue Hydrangea macrophylla varieties, these pink shrubs can serve as a focal point or act as filler in long perennial flower beds. If you’re just getting into red hydrangeas, you’re in for a treat as you discover stunning varieties of hydrangeas that only get more beautiful with time.
‘Red Flash’ caladiums
Get your spring garden growing with Costco’s Caladiums ‘Red Flash’ 24-pack bulbs from Longfield Gardens. These vibrant caladiums (Caladium bicolor ‘Red Flash’), also known as angel wings, are hardy in Zones 9 to 12. However, these tender plants are often grown as annuals in climates down to Zone 4, where they provide reliably colorful foliage all summer long. These caladium corms from Costco are shipped within a few days and can be stored in a warm, well-ventilated location until you’re ready to plant. If you want to get a jump on the season, you can also start them indoors.
‘Lynwood Gold’ forsythia
From redbuds and maples to plums and pecans, there is a wide range of plants that flower before they leaf out, and they’re often the earliest blooms in a spring garden. One cultivar on our list of the best plants, bulbs, and seeds to buy right now from Costco that fits this category is ‘Lynwood Gold’ forsythia (Forsythia x intermedia). The Longfield Gardens Spring Flowering Shrub ‘Lynwood Gold’ is available in a 3-pack for $89.99, which includes shipping and handling. These two-year-old bareroot plants, which measure about 1½ to 2 feet tall, make an excellent deer-resistant border or hedge.
‘Red Prince’ weigela
Another spring garden solution from Costco that we love is Longfield Gardens Spring Flowering Shrub ‘Red Prince’, 3-pack, priced at $94.99. Like forsythia, ‘Red Prince’ weigela (Weigela florida ‘Red Prince’), is another popular deer-resistant shrub. It’s also compact and low-maintenance, with a mature height and spread of about 4 to 6 feet. Weigela makes a good privacy hedge and is often planted along fences, property lines, and driveways. This shrub is highly sought after because the long, bright tubular flowers attract all kinds of pollinators, especially hummingbirds.
Black mondo grass
If you’re thinking about transforming your yard into a hauntingly beautiful oasis with goth garden vibes, you might be looking for a good deal on black mondo grass (Ophiopogon planiscapus). A striking ornamental grass with purple-to-almost-black leaves, Costco’s Ophiopogon ‘Black Mondo’ Plant, 3-pack is priced at $57.99 for one-gallon pots. The plants are established two-year-old specimens that grow to about 6 inches tall. This grass looks good anywhere and is quite popular as a groundcover and in container gardens. Plant them in a spot with partial shade that receives about 2 to 6 hours of direct sun.
Drift Roses
Spring is an excellent time to plant roses, and if you’re looking to add fast curb appeal and long-lasting blooms to your yard, Drift Roses are an easy choice. There are several colors in this popular collection, and Costco currently features four of them available in the Drift Rose Bush 2-pack, including pink, peach, white, and red. Thanks to the large 3-gallon pots, you won’t have to wait long for these roses to start performing in the landscape. Including shipping and handling, Costco offers each pair for $74.99.
‘Emerald Green’ arborvitae
If it feels like something is missing from this list, it’s because we haven’t included any evergreen shrubs yet. That’s about to change, as Costco is offering several popular evergreen options that add year-round color and structure to a yard. Available only online, you get three shrubs for $57.99 with a multi-pack of Costco’s Emerald Green Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’). These two-year-old plants have a mature height of up to 15 feet, making them a good choice for a hardy privacy screen.
‘Green Giant’ thuja
The next evergreen on our list is a close relative of ‘Emerald Green’ but it gets over twice as tall when it’s fully grown. Costco’s Thuja Green Giant 2-pack is priced at $77.99 and is known for its fast growth. With a 20-foot spread, you’re going to want to give these evergreens some room, but they’ll make an effective windscreen along fence lines or boundaries of exposed rural properties. These trees like plenty of moisture, and when placed in the right location, they can be a smart landscaping investment that may even help lower heating and cooling costs.
Spiral dwarf Alberta spruce
The spiral form is a special type of topiary, and if you’re looking for interesting curvy lines to soften your entryway or sculpt your patio, Costco’s Spiral Dwarf Alberta Spruce 3-pack is a good choice for instant structure and style without the premium cost. At $74.99, this multipack includes three-year-old plants that reach a mature height of about 8 feet. Slower growing and more ornamental, use these wherever you want to make a statement, especially when paired with long-lasting planters like Mayne Fairfield 34-inch Tall Black Self-Watering Planters.
Butterfly bushes 4-pack
This spring, one of our favorite value-packed collections from Costco is the 1-Gallon Butterfly Bush, 4-pack, priced at $54.99. With a mature height of about 6 to 8 feet and a spread of 3 to 5 feet, this four-pack of butterfly bushes (Buddleja spp.) covers a lot of ground. Choose from ‘Black Knight’ and ‘White Profusion’ to add a range of color to perennial flower beds and pollinator gardens. Some gardeners cut these back every year, while others recommend pruning them only when they get too big for where they’re planted.
Lomandra ‘Breeze’ grass
Although they’re shipped in a small 6-by-6-inch size, the Alder & Oak Lomandra Breeze Grass Plants from Costco are a few years old and will eventually have a mature height and spread of about 3 feet. Once established, Lomandra longifolia ‘Breeze’ requires infrequent watering. Plant these grasses in spring, spacing them several feet apart underneath flowering trees. Then, use some mulch, and you have a yard that practically takes care of itself. You can get a lot of mileage out of these striking and low-maintenance grasses, especially with Costco selling these 4-packs for $89.99.
‘Miss Canada’ lilacs
Costco has a couple of special varieties of lilacs to add to the list. With a classic fragrance that’s easy to recognize, almost everyone loves lilacs (Syringa vulgaris). If you’re looking for the perfect gift for someone who enjoys gardening, Costco has a 3-pack of bareroot Longfield Gardens ‘Miss Canada’ Lilacs for $89.99 in a unique pink color. What you’ll get is two-year-old plants that are about 18 to 24 inches tall. Consider long-term spacing when planting lilacs, as they can reach mature dimensions of up to 9 feet tall and 8 feet wide.
‘Sensation’ lilacs
Next up on our list is the ‘Sensation’ cultivar of lilacs available from Costco. This is a purple variety of lilac, but with a twist: the reddish purple florets are slightly pointed and outlined in white. As a mid-season bloomer, it helps extend the life of spring garden color. Available in the same 3-pack bundle of bareroot plants, Longfield Gardens ‘Sensation’ Lilacs are priced the same at $99.99. As a low-maintenance shrub for pollinator gardens, hedges, and windbreaks, lilacs are always a good plant to include in the garden.
Peony 8-variety pack
We’ve saved the most exciting collections of Costco plants for last, so if you’re still here, you’re about to be rewarded with some inspirational spring garden ideas. Collections like the Longfield Gardens Classic Peony Collection include eight different cultivars with two to three eyes each and are value-priced, with this set coming in at $64.99. Flower colors range from white and pink to red and deep burgundy. You’ll receive two packs of eyes for popular cultivars like ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ and ‘Kansas,’ along with one pack each of ‘Duchess de Nemours,’ ‘Francoise Ortegat,’ ‘Sorbet,’ and ‘Celebrity’.
Deer resistant plant collection
For borders, summer curb appeal, and container gardens, this deer-resistant plant collection solves a common gardening challenge. With 50 bulbs and bareroot plants, including liatris, peonies, irises, ferns, and astilbes, Costco’s Deer Resistant Plant Collection is especially appealing for homeowners with busy lifestyles. Priced at $54.99, it takes all the guesswork and hassle out of shopping for plants that will do well in your yard, no matter how many four-legged friends you have. Since it includes plants for both sun and shade with late spring to early fall flowering schedules, you can use this everywhere in your yard.
Pollinator mix plant collection
While many gardeners focus on keeping deer out, they may also be looking for ways to attract birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators. With Costco’s Pollinator Mix Plant Collection, it’s easy to create a garden that will be buzzing with life in no time at all. In this collection, you’ll find a variety of bulbs, including everything from gladioli and liatris to dahlias. This mix is ideal for spring planting and helps fill the garden with color throughout the summer.
Fragrant plant collection
Gardens are designed to engage all of the senses, and the plants in Costco’s Fragrant Flower Collection are especially encouraging in that regard. With 55 bareroot plants and bulbs, this collection includes Peony ‘Red Magic’, Phlox ‘Nicky’, and Lilium ‘Praiano’. It also offers 40 Acidanthera ‘Murielae’ for a total of $54.99. For sunny to partly sunny locations, these aromatic flowers bloom from late spring to fall, filling your garden with pink, red, white, and purple blossoms. The plants in this collection help fill flower beds while adding another sensory layer to your overall garden design.
Water-wise plant collection
Another bundled selection of plants from Costco that we like is the Drought Tolerant Water Wise Collection, featuring 65 plants. In this curated selection of bareroot plants and flowering bulbs, you’ll get five each of these popular drought-tolerant plants: Daylily ‘Fragrant Returns’, Kniphofia ‘Flaming Torch’, and Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’. On top of that, you’ll have 50 Liatris ‘Blazing Star’ to plant. When you’re trying to conserve water, every square foot counts, and with recommended spacing of 12 to 15 inches apart, this collection can cover roughly an 8-by-10-foot area.
