Thank goodness it didn’t snow over Mother’s Day weekend! The warmer weather had a good effect on plant sales but they were still short of total sales levels for the same week last year.
Pre-planted arrangements and pots sold particularly well so there were plenty of plants given as gifts even if not so many were bought for planting outside.
Highlights were:
Primula proved the most popular plant for Mother’s Day with sales up 313% on the previous week.
Pansy sales recovered to move back up to No 5.
Young Petunia plants proved very popular, climbing 29 places to No 16.
All Plants volume sales change: Week on week UP 390.7%. Year to date DOWN 4.2% on 2017.
