The second week of Easter saw a 35% increase in plant sales over the first week of Easter which meant 43% more plants were sold last week than the same week last year.
That means total plant sales for the year to date are now only 1.9% down on 2021, but still 20% higher than 2019.
Tomato plant sales dominated once again, up 27% on the previous week with volumes that were 52% higher than the No 2 most popular plant of the week, Zonal Geraniums.
Highlights of the week were:
Begonia sales grew by 167% to climb 15 places up the GTN chart to No 22.
Impatiens re-entered the Top 50 Plants at No 30.
Hosta sales doubled as they also re-entered the Top 50 at No 47. Summer is on its way!
