Can You Return Plants to Lowe's?

Yes—despite the inherent fragility of specific types of greenery, Lowe's does accept returns for merchandise purchased from their Gardening & Landscaping section. The basic terms for any plant returned with proof of purchase are:

  1. You may return trees, shrubs, and perennials up to a year after purchase
  2. All other types of plants are subject to Lowe's standard return policy

What Is the Standard Lowe's Return Policy?

Lowe's general return procedures—which apply to plants other than trees, shrubbery, and perennials—dictate the following requirements:

  • Customers unsatisfied with any product may return it within 90-days of the date of purchase
  • Customers must present a receipt to process the return

You may qualify for a 365-day return window if you used one of the following methods of payment for the purchase:

  • Lowe’s Commercial Account (LCA)
  • Lowe’s Business Advantage (LBA)
  • Lowe’s Advantage Card (LAC)
  • Lowe’s Business Rewards (LBR)

How To Return Your Plant to Lowe’s

Once you have confirmed that the plant you wish to return was purchased within the appropriate window, you can initiate the process in one of two ways:

  1. Online
  2. In person

  • MyLowe’s card
  • Phone number

Lowe's may choose to offer store credit for returns lacking a receipt. You may be required to present a government-issued photo ID to complete the process without proof of purchase.
