Total plant sales for May up by 21%

 

The GTN Bestsellers total plant sales analysis for May shows volumes up by 21% on May last year which is probably an all-time record but as we only started detailed plants analysis in 2016 we can’t look back further than that at the moment.

  • Agapanthus were the biggest movers this week. Sales rocketed to re-enter at No 11.
  • Roses were the highest chart climber, up 9 places to No 15.

All Plants volume sales change: Week on week DOWN 14.4%.  Year to date UP 3.2% on 2017
