Wales vs England part two

As the coldest winter in 30 years continues to upset the early Daffodil harvest, the team at Really Welsh are gearing up for the next battle, as the flowering symbol of Wales - our daffodil, goes head to head with the English rose for St Valentines glory.

“Daffodils have struggled to hit stores until now " reports Rhiannon Williams, but finally on Sunday we cut & delivered the first Really Welsh flowers to Tesco, starting with what Rhiannon describes as the "largest retail push in the companies short history".

“Kicking off in Valentines week really isn't ideal " adds our Rhiannon, "but it’s a battle we need to wage to get our locally grown flowers in to customers trolleys just as waves of African grown air-freighted roses start to pour in".

"We now need to make this the biggest ever year for Welsh daffodils ", and with St David's day only a matter of weeks away, the Really Welsh team have been eagerly awaiting for the arrival of some warmer weather to spur on the flower growth. The team managed to hit the fields and pick some bunches despite temperatures only reaching 5 - 6 degrees over the weekend, but with over 180 acres to harvest we had to start somewhere..

You can find Really Welsh daffodils in Tesco stores across Wales now and coming soon to Spar and Waitrose stores. And if you can't make it to the shops you can always visit www.reallywelshshop.com where you can order our daffodils to be mailed out to you.

Remember if your daffodils aren't Really Welsh they might not be Welsh at all!!
