SpringFest ends May 6 — $1 annuals, $2 mulch and patio‑stone deals

Lowe’s spring sale is basically in its last hours, and the reason people care is simple — this is the cheap-stuff phase of spring shopping. Not the f(hip2save.com)se. On Wednesday, May 6, Lowe’s still has several of the eye-catching garden deals people have been passing around, including $1 annuals, $2 mulch, and $1.25 patio stones. (hip2save.com) ### What’s actually ending today? The sale window highlighted by deal trackers runs through Wednesday, May 6, 20(corporate.lowes.com) $2 a bag, Miracle-Gro garden soil at $2.29, and square red concrete patio stones at $1.25 each, with some locations showing them as 4 for $5. (hip2save.com) ### Why are the plant and mulch deals the real draw? Because these are the products people buy in multiples, not one-offs. Saving $1 or $2 on a single tool is nothing. Saving nearly half (hip2save.com) adds up fast. Hip2Save’s roundup shows the mulch marked down from $3.98 to $2, which is the kind of drop that gets shoppers to load up a cart instead of buying “just enough.” (hip2save.com) ### What about the patio stones? That’s the quietly useful deal. Lowe’s patio-stone listings show the standard square concrete stones that people use for quick walkw(hip2save.com)price being circulated is $1.25 each, or effectively 4 for $5 in some markets, which puts a small hardscaping project into impulse-buy territory. (lowes.com) ### Is this the same as SpringFest? Sort of — but not exactly. Lowe’s own spring promotion page still frames this as its broad seasonal savings eve(hip2save.com)ingFest window at March 26 through April 22. That means the May 6 offers look less like the original launch and more like a late spring extension or final markdown wave built on top of it. (lowes.com) ### Are the tool deals as strong? Some are decent, but the garden consumables are easier to understand and probably more urgent. (lowes.com)rackers flagged DeWalt discounts and a Kobalt combo during this stretch. But Lowe’s current Kobalt Quiet Tech trimmer-and-blower combo page shows $139, not $109, so that lower price was either temporary, location-specific, or already gone. (lowes.com) ### Is there a catch? Yes — location and channel matter. The annuals are in-store only, selection var(lowes.com) by market. Lowe’s weekly-ad page says promotions and availability vary locally, which is retail’s way of saying your store might not match the screenshot you saw online. (hip2save.com) ### Why is Lowe’s pushing this so hard? Because spring is the home-improvement chain’s version of holiday shopping season. Lowe’s said in March that spring demand spikes around lawn, garden, patio, and project supplies, and it tied the season to loyalty perks like fr(lowes.com)rs. Cheap mulch gets attention — but the bigger play is getting shoppers to build an entire weekend project around one visit. (corporate.lowes.com) ### Bottom line? If you need flowers, mulch, soil, or (hip2save.com) you’re chasing a very specific tool price, the catch is that those deals move faster — and some already have. (hip2save.com)
