Gardeners have really got into a festive floral mood with houseplants, cover pots and drip feeders dominating sales of garden products. Topping the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products chart is the Fito Drip Feeder for Poinsettia & Christmas Cactus – it’s worth noting that it was third in the chart this time last year.
Scheurich Cover Pots fill the next two places with Dark Red and Glossy Cream while the highest new entry is the Ivyline Pot Cover Poinsettia at No 23. Scheurich also have a newcomer to the Top 50 in Anthracite B Pot at No 49.
Decorative animals are also proving popular as Vivid Arts fill three of the top 10 places with their Playful Polar Bear (sitting, standing and dancing versions).
Garden lighting - as well as outdoor lighting for Christmas - is selling in good numbers. The highest re-entry is Gardman LED Light String Starlight (50 lights) at No 35. There are 12 garden lighting lines in the Top 50.
There’s also evidence that tools and gardening gloves are being bought as Christmas gifts.
Overall, it has been a tough year but GTN Bestsellers data reveals that total volumes of garden products sold in 2013 are higher than 2012.
