The Welsh Rugby Union daffodil, the only daffodil to officially honour an international Rugby team, will be planted on the Millennium Stadium rugby pitch for the Wales vs France game on Saturday 15 March. Narcissus ‘Undeb Rygbi Cymru’ is a unique gift from the UK’s leading gardening charity, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS).

A first for rugby! A first for Wales! Mind the flower, lads.

The WRU’s daffodil took 15 years to develop and is straight, strong, with an abundance of stamina, impressive trumpet and delicate scent…

RHS Shows Director, Stephen Bennett, said: “This daffodil really is a spectacular and very impressive specimen; it is hugely exciting that it will be on the sidelines, supporting the team, in the Six Nations Grand Slam. Good luck the WRU!”

Come on Wales. Come on the Narcissus ‘Undeb Rygbi Cymru'”…
