Green-fingered Brits wondering what plants to add to their gardens next year are being told of the most popular plants of 2025. 

Experts at GardeningExpress.co.uk have revealed the top ten best-selling plants from 2025, highlighting the demand for hardy favourites, vibrant bulbs and low-maintenance plants.  

Classic spring bulbs remain popular, with daffodils, hellebores and alliums emerging as the top three favourites among UK gardeners. 

Ivy was also in demand in 2025 among homeowners looking for low-maintenance greenery for walls and fences. 

Colourful bedding plants such as dianthus, pansies and violas continue to appeal to gardeners, thanks to their bright blooms and ability to quickly fill borders, pots and hanging baskets.

Also included on the list were fragrant, pollinator-friendly lavenders and primroses, as well as bold dahlias and seasonal poinsettias. 

Chris Bonnett, the founder of GardeningExpress.co.uk said: “The best-selling plants from 2025 show that UK gardeners continue to favour reliable, easy-to-grow varieties that deliver quick visual impact.

“Timeless spring bulbs have continued to perform well, as they offer vibrant results without requiring too much maintenance. 

“We’ve also seen an increase in sales for hardy plants like ivy and lavender, as gardeners are adapting their plant choices to the harsher weather conditions we’ve experienced in recent years.

“Colourful bedding plants also remain go-to choices, thanks to their versatility and ability to thrive in gardens of all sizes, from small balconies to larger borders.”

Here are the top ten most popular plants from 2025:

1. Daffodils

A timeless spring favourite, daffodils are loved for their bright yellow blooms and ability to return year after year with minimal care.

2. Hellebores

Often flowering in late winter or early spring, hellebores offer early colour and are appreciated among gardeners for their hardiness and long-lasting blooms.

3. Alliums

Alliums are known for their striking globe-shaped flowers. They’re also great for adding height and interest to borders, while also being attractive to pollinators.

4. Ivy

Ivy is a popular choice for homeowners looking to add year-round greenery to their outdoor space. Ivy thrives in shaded areas and can quickly cover walls and fences. 

5. Dianthus

Dianthus plants are known for their colourful, long-lasting flowers and subtle fragrance. They’re ideal for borders, pots and containers, offering quick results and a steady display throughout the growing season.

6. Pansies and violas

Pansies and violas are loved for their cheerful blooms and resilience in cooler temperatures. They’re well-suited to hanging baskets, window boxes and smaller garden spaces.

7. Lavenders

Lavender is many gardeners’ favourite because of its distinctive scent and eye-catching purple flowers. Lavenders are also a great choice for those who are looking to support wildlife, as they’re very rich in nectar, providing valuable food for pollinators.
