Love tulips? Then nip along to your Co-op

The British tulip season has commenced, and Co-op became the first supermarket this season to launch the UK-grown blooms to help brighten-up our homes as we head into darker months this weekend.

Described as bright, cheerful and affordable flowers, tulips are: “perfect for the home and a popular choice with our customers, certain to lift people’s spirits and put a smile on faces during the winter months” said Co-op’s Horticulture Technical Manager, Gemma Gray.

Grown in Lincolnshire, the sale of British tulips forms part of Co-op’s ongoing commitment to work closely with and support British growers and farmers.

Co-op is also a signatory to the National Farmers Union (NFU) plants and flowers pledge.

Gemma went on to say: “Co-op works closely with its farmers and growers all year round, building long term relationships and supporting suppliers throughout the seasons. We are very excited to lead the way with British tulips this season. We're very confident our customers will love them, I believe the flowers provide a sense that brighter days are just around the corner, and I am delighted that high quality and much loved British tulips are now available in Co-op stores in communities across the UK.”
