Costco's spring garden center has officially bloomed! I've wandered the aisles, examined the offerings, and compiled this treasure map to the most swoon-worthy green goodies of the season.
From ready-to-display container gardens to bareroot berries that promise summer harvests, these affordable finds are about to transform your outdoor spaces from winter-weary to spring spectacular.
Patio Gardens Container Kit ($19.99)
I spotted these perfect Patio Gardens container kits at Costco for $19.99! Available in three different flower options, these ready-to-plant containers are ideal for gardeners wanting quick, beautiful results this spring.
I appreciate how these kits include everything needed for successful container gardening—proper drainage, quality soil mix, and healthy starter plants all in one package.
Phalaenopsis Orchid Collection ($20.99)
These stunning potted orchids are brightening up Costco's garden center for just $20.99! Available in a delightful spectrum of colors from pure white and soft yellow to vibrant fuchsia and gentle coral, each comes in a sleek ceramic pot (in either pale blue or warm beige).
These would make perfect additions to a bright bathroom or kitchen windowsill. My orchids from Costco last year rebloomed twice with minimal care, just ice cubes once a week and indirect light!

10" Hydrangea Pots ($21.99)
These gorgeous potted hydrangeas have just arrived at Costco for $21.99, and they're absolutely bursting with color! The pink varieties show off classic gradient blooms—lime green centers transitioning to soft pink edges—that make hydrangeas such garden favorites.
These potted hydrangeas look perfect for adding instant impact to a partly shaded porch area. They also make wonderful gifts for spring birthdays! I have to say, I have never tried hydrangeas in my Illinois garden, but these pots made me re-consider my decision.
Container Garden Bulb Collection ($18.99)
These clever Container Garden bulb sets just hit Costco at $18.99 each, and they're perfect for creating statement containers without any design guesswork. These collections offer either the 8-bulb pack featuring dramatic Elephant Ears paired with vibrant pink Caladiums, and the 14-bulb option showcasing White Christmas Caladiums with striking orange Cannas.
The planting diagrams on each bag show exactly how to arrange these bulbs for maximum impact, which is helpful for those who appreciate a little guidance! These would be perfect for partly shaded patios or those tricky spots where you want some drama without constant watering.
We actually did buy a couple of the bags for our front patio project. Unfortunately, we had some unplanned traveling come up, so the poor things were left in the garage for three weeks before planting. But hey, the hostas seem to be okay (the jury is still out about the condition of the other plants).
Specialty Bulb Garden Collections ($18.99)
The 70-bulb Hummingbird Garden is practically a wildlife sanctuary in a bag featuring sunny yellow lilies, vibrant crocosmia 'Lucifer' (those stunning red spikes!), and a gorgeous gladiolus blend that creates the perfect nectar buffet for our buzzing friends.
On the right, the 24-bulb Designer Color Blends package showcases the most beautiful lily combinations I've seen this season. Those stargazers with their speckled pink petals and pristine white varieties create a dreamy contrast. Both collections are designed for full sun areas and come with helpful planting guides.
Just one word of caution. If you have a cat, stay away from lilies, even outside in your garden. Read more here: 9 Must-Know Facts About Lilies That Could Save Your Cat’s Life
Designer Color Garden Collections ($18.99)
The 12-plant Shade Garden collection is a total game-changer for those problematic dark corners where nothing seems to thrive. I'm swooning over that vibrant 'Maggie Daisy' Astilbe with its cotton-candy pink plumes that practically glow in the shade!
Paired with those variegated hostas and purple salvia, it's like they bottled up a professional landscaper's secret recipe. On the right is the showstopper 6-plant Peony Garden collection that'll have your neighbors "casually" walking by your yard for a better peek!
Those luscious pink and white blooms look straight out of a fancy floral arrangement, and I can almost smell their heavenly fragrance through the packaging. These plants are specifically selected to complement each other in height, bloom time, and color palette.
Specialty Garden Collections ($18.99)
The 10-bulb Perennial Garden package is a purple-yellow dream team featuring those buttery 'Happy Returns' daylilies paired with dramatic purple iris and clematis. I'm absolutely smitten with how they've curated this color story. The golden yellows pop against those rich purples like crazy!
Perfect for that sunny border that needs some perennial pizzazz without the endless nursery trips. On the right, the 12-bulb Wetland Garden is such a clever solution for those soggy spots where normal plants throw tantrums! Those cheerful yellow irises, tropical-looking elephant ears, and fiery orange cannas are exactly what I needed for that perpetually damp corner by my downspout.
Specialty Garden Collections ($18.99)
The Drought Tolerant Garden set is a dream for some climates. Those purple catmint blooms paired with that show-stopping 'Munstead Dark Red' sedum create the dreamiest color combo—and the cheerful yellow daylilies add that perfect pop of sunshine! Perfect for that problematic dry slope or that corner of your yard that your hose simply refuses to reach.
The 70-bulb Hummingbird Garden is perfect for our tiny winged friends! I'm obsessed with how they've combined those elegant yellow lilies with the fiery red crocosmia 'Lucifer' (the absolute FAVORITE of hummingbirds, trust me). The gladiolus mix rounds everything out with height and drama.
Spring Bulb Assortment ($13.99)
These individual spring bulb packets from Netherland Bulb Company are just $13.99 each, and they're the perfect way to customize your garden with exactly what you need. What I appreciate most about these individual bags is the flexibility they offer. Instead of committing to a full garden design, you can pick and choose exactly what your space needs.
Running low on crocosmia after last year's stellar display? Just grab a packet! Need to fill that new container by the patio? The 10-count begonia bags would be perfect! My strategy is to grab a few packets of lilies and dahlias now, then stagger the planting every two weeks for continuous blooms all summer.
10" Flowering Garden Pots ($15.99)
These ready-to-display beauties come already blooming with cheerful combinations of classic spring flowers. Sunny yellow paired with vibrant pink begonias creates instant garden appeal without any planting work! The substantial 10" size makes them perfect for front porches or as focal points in garden beds.
I appreciate how the soil appears nicely moist but not soggy—a sign these have been adequately cared for. Perfect for gardeners wanting immediate results without waiting for seeds or bulbs to grow.
Water Garden Tropical Houseplants ($24.99)
I'm absolutely swooning over these glass bulb planters with their cork tops. They're like living terrariums that double as statement decor pieces! On the left, that vibrant Calathea is showing off those gorgeous rippled bright green leaves that dance up and down throughout the day.
Meanwhile, its moody neighbor, that dramatically dark Philodendron with those glossy, almost metallic purple-black leaves—is serving up some serious plant drama! The contrast between these varieties is perfection. The low-maintenance factor is off the charts, too. No soil means no mess, and you can easily see when it's time for a water refresh.
Berry & Fruit Plant Bareroot Collection ($13.99)
Costco's bare-root berry plants are back, and I'm practically bouncing with excitement. At just $13.99 these dormant treasures are the ultimate garden hack for anyone dreaming of summer berry harvests.
What I love most about these bareroot plants is how deceptively unimpressive they look now, just twiggy little sticks that transform into lush, fruit-laden bushes by August. The included planting guides make the process foolproof even for berry-growing newbies.
Pro tip: Grab the 'Arapaho' blackberries if you're short on space. They're thornless (your arms will thank you during harvest) and don't spread like their wild cousins.
Fragrant Rose Collection ($15.99)
These bareroot rose beauties just hit Costco for $15.99, and they're absolute garden treasures. The Fragrant Rose Collection features a stunning array of varieties in the most dreamy color palette—from that classic 'Pink Peace' with its perfect blush tones to those showstopping coral-orange varieties that'll have your garden glowing at golden hour.
What's making me grab my cart with urgency is how established these dormant plants are—notice those thick, healthy canes that promise abundant blooms in their first season! Each comes individually packaged with clear planting instructions and special rose food to get them established. Perfect for creating that cottage garden aesthetic or adding classic elegance to your landscape.

16" Spring Color Bowl ($17.99)
These ready-to-display beauties are filled with delicate violas in the softest lavender and white hues, perfect for adding that touch of spring charm to your porch or patio. The generous 16" size makes these an absolute steal, and I'm impressed by how full and lush they already are this early in the season.
The tag mentions they need protection below 28 degrees, but otherwise, these are delightfully low-maintenance baskets that'll reward you with continuous blooms with minimal effort. A little deadheading every few days keeps them looking fresh and flowering abundantly well into early summer.
May Your Thumbs Stay Green and Your Plant Budget Reasonable!
As we wrap up our garden center adventure, I'm genuinely impressed by Costco's thoughtfully curated plant selection this spring. From no-fail container gardens to those bareroot berry plants that promise years of homegrown harvests, there's truly something for every gardening style and skill level.
What stands out most is how these collections take the guesswork out of creating a cohesive, professionally designed garden. Whether you're looking to attract pollinators, add dramatic foliage, or brighten up your space with no-fuss color, these affordable options deliver garden joy without breaking the bank.
Those gorgeous hydrangeas and specialty bulb collections tend to disappear faster than the free sample stations on a Sunday afternoon! So grab your favorites soon, and get ready for a season of blooms, fragrance, and garden envy from your neighbors.

Is the a specific package that is deer resistant for those of us that live in areas where these hungry animals reside?
I didn’t see any at Costco. We have deer in our backyard and we just spray the hostas often or they disappear.
