We’ve now seen 25 consecutive weeks of plant sales up year on year, and the average since re-opening in May is 33.33%. That’s great news but we mustn’t forget that 33% up since re-opening doesn’t make up for all of the lost sales during closure – year to date plant sales are still 20% down on 2019 levels.

• Poinsettia sales almost doubled to move up to No 7 in the GTN Chart.
• Pernettya were the highest chart climber, up 21 places to No 24.
• Dracaena were the highest of 8 re-entries, back in the Top 50 at No 34.

All Plants volume sales change: Week on week DOWN 20.7%.  Year to date vs 2019 DOWN 20.0%, vs  2018 DOWN 25.3%.
