There were plenty of plants given to Mums as gifts on Mother’s Day. That, and a surge of young veg plant sales, were the drivers behind an almost 10% week on week growth and sales totals that were more than double those for the same week last year.
Highlights of the week were:
Orchid sales jumped by almost 200% to move up to No 13 in the GTN Plants Chart.
Young tomato plant sales rushed through the tills to make them the second most popular of all plants last week.
Anthuriums are proving to be a popular houseplant for gifts. They were the highest re-entry, back in at No 35.
