Autumn planting gets going

The third week of September 2019 is only the second week since March this year that plant sales volumes have been up year on year.  With gardens still looking great after the summer it’s good to see that autumn planting, along with bulb sales, is getting going.

  • Erysimum sales increased by over 50% to climb up 4 places to No 11.
  • Helleborus are the highest re-entry for the week, back in at No 26.
  • Rhododendron are the highest chart climber of all plant genus, up 21 places to No 24.
