November plant sales up 23% so far
November is more than making up for a disappointing October. After three weeks the GTN Bestsellers Plant Sales volume index is up 23% for the month year on year.
That means plant sales over the past 14 weeks are now showing a 6% increase.
Sales of pre-planted Hyacinth made them the highest chart climber this week.
Pre-planted daffs sent Narcissus back into the chart at No 10.
Lithops, living stone, were the highest new entry at No 33.
