Good recovery for plants after snow
 

Plant sales recovered well after the weekend of snow to get within 10% of last year’s mid-February volumes.

 

With warm weather forecast for this weekend we should see sales rocket ahead of last year as people add spring colour to their gardens, balconies and patios.

  • Primula sales recovered but are still 40% down year to date on last year. 
  • Petunia led the way in young plant sales, re-entering at No 12.
  • Young plant Pelargonium sales (including zonal geraniums) climbed 19 places to No 13.

All Plants volume sales change: Week on week UP 77.3%. Year to date vs 2018 DOWN 9.9%, vs  2017 UP  28.3%.
