Poinsettia back at No 1
 |
Indoor plant sales shone while the snow kept customers out of planterias for a large swathe of the country.
Poinsettia sales jumped by 63% to take over at the top of the chart while indoor planted Hyacinth sales are up by 34% on the same week last year.
- Indoor Azalea sales jumped by over 200% and moved up 30 places to No 18.
- Beech, Fagus, was the hedging of choice last week coming back into the chart at No 27.
- Prickly Pear Cacti, Opuntia, are the latest succulent to feature in our Top 50, in at No 47.
