Tomatoes are this week's GYO bestsellers



Sales of tomato plants are dominating the Veg-2-Gro Bestseller chart this week with nine varieties in the top 10.

Gardeners Kitchen have secured the leading six places with Gardeners Delight re-entering the chart at No 1. Their other varieties are Moneymaker, Sweet Millions, Sungold (the highest climber, moving up 32 places to No 4), Tomato Totem and Tumbling Yellow.

Quantil’s Tomato Superweet 100, 8cm, is the highest new entry at No 24. In total there are 18 tomato items in the top 50.

The only non-tomato product in the top 10 is Sutton’s Grafted Chilli Pepper F1 Medina at No 8, while Gardeners Kitchen Cucumber Telegraph and Pepenex have sold well, grabbing Nos 14 and 19 respectively.

Joining Vigo Rosemary in the chart this week are Floréac Herb Origanum 14 cm at No 38 and Rosemarinus Prostratus 14 cm at No 39. Is this a new trend appearing in garden centres with customers buying bigger herb plants?

Quantil Courgette Golden 8cm is also a newcomer at No 42.

Last week’s bestseller, Mr Blueberry Tri-Pack is still in the chart but has slipped 15 places.
