After last year’s brilliant May and June for plant sales everyone said we should wait until the end of June 2019 to make real year-on-year comparisons. And the results are in: Year to date plant sales volumes are down by 6% on 2018 but up by 2% on 2017.
So, what would you rather have a mad May and June after a poor March and April or a poor May and June after a good March and April? Answers to trevor.pfeiffer@tgcmc.co.uk please.
Orchid sales increased by 75% at the end of June to move 20 places up the chart to No 23.
Bellis continued to be very popular this year. An 80% increase moves them up to No 19
Penstemon were the highest re-entry into the GTN Top 50 at No 28.
All Plants volume sales change: Week on week DOWN 8.5%. Year to date vs 2018 DOWN 6.0%, vs 2017 UP 1.9%..
