Primulas are the bestselling plant of the year so far
 
Plant sales volumes at the start of the year have dropped to just less than 50% of the week before Christmas but the most popular plants that are looking good are still selling in high volumes.
  • Primula plants are the first No 1 selling plant of the year.
  • Hedging plants are being bought in volume.
  • Bluebells in the green – Hyacinthoides – make their first sighting in the GTN Chart at No 48.
