As spring arrives in Lake Elsinore, Corona, Temecula, CA & surrounding communities, gardens begin to wake up—making it the perfect time to plant a wide variety of vegetables and herbs. At Sunset Nursery and Supply, we stock seasonal favorites specifically selected for success in our Southern California climate. From leafy greens and tomatoes to flavorful herbs for your kitchen, our springtime offerings are ready to bring flavor and freshness to your garden.
Each season brings a unique mix of plant starts and garden-ready edibles. Whether you're planting a backyard garden, raised bed, or container setup, our nursery has the options you need to get growing.
Our spring vegetable selection includes a rotating mix of cool- and warm-season crops. Early spring is ideal for leafy greens and root vegetables, while mid to late spring transitions into heat-loving crops that thrive through the summer.
Commonly Available in Spring:
These vegetable starts are available in packs or individual containers, making it easy to plan a diverse and productive garden. Our inventory changes weekly to reflect what grows best as temperatures rise—so visiting in person ensures you’ll see the freshest and most suitable varieties for the current planting window.
Fresh herbs are some of the easiest—and most rewarding—plants to grow. Our spring selection includes both annual and perennial herbs that flourish in Lake Elsinore’s warm, sunny conditions.
Frequently Stocked Herbs:
These herbs grow well in both containers and garden beds. Many can be harvested regularly throughout the season, providing flavor for your meals while encouraging bushier, more vigorous growth.
For those who enjoy cooking with fresh ingredients, a simple herb garden near the kitchen can be both practical and aromatic. Pair herbs with vegetable plantings for natural pest control and garden diversity.
Vegetables and herbs need well-draining soil rich in organic matter. We recommend mixing compost into your planting beds or containers before transplanting.
Choose a spot that receives at least 6–8 hours of full sun daily, especially for fruiting crops like tomatoes and peppers. Leafy greens and some herbs can tolerate partial shade, particularly in the hotter part of the season.
Young transplants should be watered regularly, keeping soil consistently moist (but not soggy) until roots are established. Once mature, most spring vegetables prefer deep, less frequent watering to encourage strong root development. Container-grown herbs and vegetables may require more frequent watering, especially on warm days.
Pick herbs early and often to keep them from flowering too quickly. Vegetables should be harvested at peak ripeness for best taste and to encourage continued production.
At Sunset Nursery and Supply, our spring vegetable and herb inventory changes with the season. We carry what grows best now, with new shipments arriving regularly. Our team is happy to help you choose varieties that suit your space, preferences, and planting timeline.
Come visit us in Lake Elsinore to see what’s fresh, what’s thriving, and what’s ready to take root in your garden. Whether you’re a first-time grower or a seasoned gardener, you’ll find the starts and plants you need for a successful spring harvest.
