First frosts see fleece and pot feet sales surge

Winter preparations took centre stage in the GTN Bestsellers Garden Products Top 50 last week as the first frosts prompted a surge in fleece and pot feet sales. Gardman Frostgard sales volumes jumped by 145% and four lines of pot feet featured in the Top 50, increasing pot feet sales by almost 200%.

 

  • Apta Standard Pot Feet climbed 20 places to No 9.
  • Possibly linked to Christmas sales, Premier Decorations LED Pull Light & Bulb was the highest climber.
  • Scheurich cover pots were the highest new entry – one of four Scheurich lines in the Top 50 as the popularity of cacti and houseplants continues to grow.
