Plant sales outstrip supply, but now 8% up year on year
With sales from the late May Bank Holiday Monday still to report, plant sales volumes are now 8.0% up year on year, so no wonder some growers are struggling to keep up with demand.
Several nurseries have been telling garden centres: “The planting delays of spring have hit at the same time as the unprecedented surge in demand over the last few weeks.”
Lupins moved up another 16 places to No 20 after all of the Chelsea Flower Show coverage.
