As we head into fall, the sun is setting earlier and earlier each day, and soon it’s going to be getting dark at 5 p.m. (Sigh.) You’re going to want something to brighten up your space as we hunker down for the dark, cold months. Maybe a new plant?

As of Sept. 2, a few of our favorite online plant shops are running solid sales, so you can buy some nice plants at a discount.

Bloomscape — save 20% on orders of $99 or more with code ENDOFSUMMER

For Bloomscape’s Labor Day sale, you’ll save 20% if you spend $99 or more. One large plant or a couple medium and small plants will get you over that threshold. Bloomscape has all the classics like monsteras, ZZ plants, snake plants, and money trees. You have a choice between five colors of ceramic planters for most of the plants. Just don’t forget to use the code ENDOFSUMMER at checkout to score 20% off.

The Sill — save up to $63 (plants starting at $19)

The Sill’s Labor Day sale is not super deep — it’s mostly faux plants. But there are a couple live plant deals included. Grab a classic plant subscription or a pet-friendly plant subscription and save 15% on your first three months, or pick out some live succulents on sale. If you’re a notorious plant killer, check out those faux plants, including snake and watermelon peperomia.

Plants.com — save 20% with code OFFICE20

Plants.com’s sale is technically a back-to-office sale rather than a Labor Day sale, so the focus is on plants to liven up your office space — whether that’s your actual office or your home office. You’ll find a good mix of floor plants, small plants, and faux plants, and they’re all 20% off with the code OFFICE20.
