Plants up 17% on last week
 

The first week of July saw a considerable bounce back in plant sales compared to the last week of June but not enough to beat sales for the same week last year, ending down 4%.  This was driven by the Top 3 bestselling plants; Pelargoniums (including bedding geraniums), Dahlias and Begonias all selling 17% less than last year and keeping overall volumes down.

 

  • Bacopa were the highest re-entries to the Top 50 with sales up by 400%
  • Cosmos jumped 24 places to No 23.
  • Diascia also grew sales by more than 400% to re-enter at No 33.
