Embrace the early growing season with Echter’s selection of cool season vegetables. Perfect for planting in the crisp, early days of spring or the cool weather of fall, these vegetables thrive in lower temperatures, giving gardeners a head start on the gardening year. From leafy greens like spinach and kale to root vegetables such as carrots and beets, our cool season offerings are designed to flourish in the chill, ensuring a bountiful harvest even before the summer warmth sets in.

Warm Season Vegetables

Soak up the sun with Echter’s array of warm season vegetables, cultivated to thrive in the heat of summer. These sun-loving plants, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, and melon require longer days and warmer temperatures to produce their best yields. Plant these vegetables after the last frost, and watch your garden come alive with vibrant colors and flavors, perfect for summer salads, grilling, and fresh, home-cooked meals.

Herbs are versatile, easy to grow, and make a delightful addition to any garden, balcony, or windowsill, providing fresh flavors for your kitchen year-round. Whether you’re an experienced chef or a home cook, our herbs bring freshness and vibrancy to any dish.

Dormant Fruit & Vegetables

Plan ahead with Echter’s selection of dormant fruit and vegetable plants. These offerings are ideal for gardeners looking to establish their gardens early in the season, with plants that awaken and grow as the temperatures rise. From bare-root strawberries to dormant asparagus crowns, planting dormant varieties allows for a head start on the growing season, leading to earlier harvests and extended production periods.

Small Fruits

Indulge in the joy of growing your own small fruits with Echter’s collection. Our selection includes berries, such as strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries, along with other small fruit varieties that are perfect for home gardens. These plants offer the delight of fresh, sweet flavors straight from the garden, and many are suitable for growing in containers or small spaces, making it easy to enjoy the taste of summer, no matter the size of your garden.
