Snow slows plant sales in garden centres
 
The small amount of snow last weekend put paid to another week of plant sales growth with only Primula in the Top 5 of the GTN Bestsellers plant sales charts increasing sales. 

Mind you Primula accounted for 57% of all plant sales.
  • The biggest week on week percentage increase went to Erysmium – Wallflowers.
  • Buxus move up from No 42 to No 13 as hedge planting gets into full swing.
  • Bacopa do not feature in the chart this week. Close inspection of the Epos data discovered some “rolled up” barcodes being used for Kindergarten plug plants.  Apologies for all our bigging up of Bacopa Snowflake – that was actually reporting the sales of all plug plants.
