Plant sales were up by 40% compared to the same week last year for the start of June. That’s great news considering the weather wasn’t so good and that stocks of bedding plants were running out. Instead gardeners appear to have bought other plants, especially veg plants and plants to grow in pots and containers including herbs.
Strawberry plants were the highest re-entry to the GTN Plants Top 50, back in at No 35.
Canna Lily sales grew by over 150% to re-enter at No 46.
Primula sales doubled as they climbed 22 places up the chart to No 14.
