Taylors Bulbs report brisk start to bulb sales season

A great start to the Autumn bulb selling season is being reported by Taylors Bulbs customers at Glee.

 

Adam Taylor told Glee Daily News; “where centres have given bulbs plenty of space and great displays they are getting superb sell through already. After the hot summer it really looks as though we will have a proper Autumn planting season this year.

 

"We have been busy with replenish sales both here at Glee and back at the office.  There are plenty of bulbs still available over a good range of varieties.

 

"Look forward to seeing more people on the stand in Hall 6 (6N03).

 

Extra large novelty amaryllis bulbs proved a big draw to the Taylors Bulbs stand (6N03) on day one of Glee.  The supersize bulbs are the biggest Taylors have ever brought to the show and are true showstoppers, just as amaryllis are about to hit the shop floors of garden retailers nationwide. 

 

“Amaryllis sales have grown consistently year-on-year, driven largely by the increase in popularity of the Taylors Premium amaryllis gift boxes” said Adam Taylor, director of Taylors Bulbs.  “These extra-large bulbs are certainly catching the eye of discerning garden retailers.”

 

 

Also on offer from Taylors are other large bulbs including Allium ‘Globemaster’, Amarcrinum (a cross between Amaryllis and Crinum), Urginea (Maritime Squill) and the giant spiderlike Eremurus (Foxtail Lilies).  The giant Eremurus have become a highlight of the Taylors stand at recent Glee shows and commonly feature in Hallowe’en displays in garden centres.

 

 

Autumn bulb sales are reported to have made a strong start for many garden centres. Adam Taylor said: “We have heard that many customers achieved strong sales in early August sales and with the peak weeks now in full swing, the reports continue to be positive.  Despite the growing year, we still have plenty of stocks of many bestsellers and a good assortment to maximise any opportunities for replenishment. After the dry summer, I am hopeful of a good autumn planting season for spring flowering bulbs.”

 

Taylors are also showing their added value gift range in a new display style, and speaking to all customers about seed potatoes for Spring 2019.
