Spring is fast-approaching and my garden is looking far from ready after battling a wet and cold winter. That’s why I’m delighted to spot the IKEA spring gardening collection 2026, dropping just in time to give my backyard a refresh.
It’s full of stylish items to get your spring garden in shape and even elevate your indoor garden – from the charming DOFTRIPS seed starter tray (see here at IKEA), to the unique orange reactive glaze of the HASSELBUKETT planter (see here are IKEA).

Spring Planting Essentials
The IKEA spring gardening collection 2026 has some key essentials to stock up on for ticking off your spring gardening checklist. These basics are great for seed sowing and preparing soil for planting, with a simple yet elevated design.
DOFTDRIPS Plant Starter Set
Ideal for indoor seed sowing, this plant starter set has a seed tray for 4 seedlings, a humidity dome with ventilation, and 4 stakes to support seedlings. It’s charming in design, practical, and compact, so it can fit neatly on windowsills and greenhouse shelves alike.
LÄRKAR Gardening Tool Set
If you need to refresh your essential gardening tools, or are looking for a good gift for the green-fingered friend in your life, this is a great pick. I particularly like the green hook detail, making it easy to hang up the tools in vertical storage. Made of stainless steel, this duo comes with a hand trowel and fork for planting, aerating soil, and more.
BRUNBÄR Plant Pot with Saucer
No container garden is complete without classic terracotta pots, and these new ones from IKEA are a good choice. They have drainage holes and saucers to aid moisture management, and they come in 4 different sizes so you can mix and match for your plants’ needs.
Indoor Gardening Accessories
There’s so much more to indoor gardening than the best indoor plants. You can grow herbs and even vegetables indoors, and turn your plants into living artwork. But, no indoor garden looks good if plant health is struggling. That’s where these accessories lend a helping hand.
As an avid houseplant collector who once lived in an apartment, I can honestly say there’s nothing worse than potting mix getting everywhere. But, this colorful potting mat is the perfect solution. It has structured corners and high edges to keep the mess in. Bonus: you’ll waste less potting soil as this mat helps to gather the excess.
DOFTRIPS Self-Watering Globes
If you’re a bit of a forgetful gardener or simply don’t have time to keep on top of watering your houseplants, then these self-watering globes are handy to have. In charming hues of light pink and green, they’re sure to add some color to plant pots while gradually releasing water to plant roots, keeping them hydrated.
I always use a narrow-spouted watering can like this for houseplants because it makes it much easier to direct water to the base of plants. The green color is also gorgeous, making this a decorative piece between use. It’s also made from powder-coated stainless steel, which is rust-resistant and built for long-lasting use.
Beautiful Planters
I personally never stop buying planters because I know there will always be a new plant that needs a home in my garden. Whether you have a growing container garden, expansive houseplant collection, or are looking for the perfect vessel to gift homegrown plants in, the variety of pots on offer in IKEA’s new drop is worth checking out.
This stoneware planter is the perfect addition to minimalist indoor garden displays and container gardens. It has a pretty speckled design with a matte finish and measures 4 ¾”, ideal for small-medium plants both indoors and in the yard.
If you only have enough growing space for a spring window box, then look no further. This sophisticated flower box has a timeless rounded design with an off-white finish that will offset colorful spring blooms beautifully. It comes with a holder to easily attach to window ledges and fences, and it measures 22×7 ¾”.
This planter has a retro-feel to it, with its unique shape and beautiful orange-brown reactive glaze. Made of stoneware, it can be used for outdoor plants as well as houseplants, measuring 4 ¾”, ideal for small-medium plants.
Stylish Storage
Once you make gardening your hobby, you’ll be surprised by how many things you accumulate. Garden storage will never be enough, with new things to not only find a home for but also to put on display. The best garden storage combines this, making practical solutions stylish, like the below shelves and cabinets.
This beautiful unit is versatile in the yard. Use it as an outdoor potting bench or an outdoor kitchen. It has a stainless steel tabletop, hooks to hang up tools and plants, and a shelf for underneath storage. It’s made from acacia wood for a timeless finish.
This shelf unit is ideal if you have a small patio or balcony garden, doubling your growing space. Display containers on it, spare pots, and tools. The shelves are perforated for water to drain away, making it easy to keep clean. It measures 36 1/4×29 7/8″.
If you’re anything like me, I can’t stand clutter on my patio. This cabinet is a great solution, offering concealed storage for pots and tools, as well as soft furnishing like outdoor blankets. It has two adjustable shelves and a powder-coated steel surface, for use indoor and out.
There’s no doubt the IKEA spring gardening collection 2026 brings function and form to essentials and nice-to-haves alike – I can’t wait to style them in my yard and indoor garden.
