I get a lot of plants from Home depot, they have plants year round and most all are of good quality and last for years. I am from SE Minnesota, and they pretty much carry only what we can grow outside, both annuals or perennials and some tropical you can pot and bring in for the winter if you don't want to treat them like annuals. I have never had a quality problem with any plants I have gotten from them, and they are name brand. You are probably warmer earlier than where I live, but may is usually a good time. Most plants like at least fifty degree soil temp. Have fun! There are a lot of plants to choose from, and you can bring in plants for the winter, like herbs if you give them the right light.
