More plants sold in October already than last year
In the first four weeks of October 2020 we’ve already seen more plants sold in the GTN Bestsellers Epos data than in the equivalent five-week period of the month last year.
If that doesn’t resonate that more people are gardening and buying plants, then what are we waiting for. Even last week, when the weather wasn’t so good and the clocks went back, plant sales were still up by 5% on the same week last year.
Cyclamen sales were steady, keeping them as the No 1 Bestselling plant for the third week in a row.
Calathea and Schlumbergera moved 19 and 16 places up the chart as people turned their attention to indoor gardening.
Late flowering Delphiniums sold well to make them the highest re-entry at No 35.
All Plants volume sales change: Week on week DOWN 18.3%. Year to date vs 2019 DOWN 21.2%, vs 2018 DOWN 26.5%.
