With all the changes in the floral industry this past year, we anticipated that Mother’s Day sales would be high. And we were right. The National Retail Federation expected overall Mother’s Day spending to hit a record $28.1 billion this year, increasing $1.4 billion from 2020. And per the Society of American Florists (SAF) Mother’s Day Survey 2021, flower sales went right along with the overall uptrend. Here are a few highlights:
