Achillea Mix Dried
Dried stems, hand-harvested from our Norfolk farm
If the bright golden yarrow is too bold for your taste, this pastel mix is the romantic alternative. Featuring the smaller, more delicate heads of Achillea millefolium, this bunch offers a tapestry of sun-washed colours: dusky pinks, warm terracottas, creamy apricots, and vintage whites.
This is the essence of an English cottage garden, preserved. The flat, plate-like flower heads provide excellent structure in a vase, breaking up vertical lines, while the soft colours blend seamlessly with almost any interior style. It looks just as beautiful thrown loosely into a jug as it does carefully arranged in a bridal bouquet.

🌿 About these Stems
These are the air-dried stems of Achillea millefolium (Common Yarrow). Unlike the large yellow variety, these heads are clusters of smaller flowers.
The Colour Profile: Please note that this is a natural mix. Shades will vary from bunch to bunch, ranging from deep rose and terracotta to pale cream and parchment. The colours are naturally "muted" and vintage-looking rather than bright neon.
🎨 Styling Ideas
This mix is incredibly versatile:
- The Vintage Jug: Don't overthink it. A simple bunch of mixed Yarrow in a white enamel jug or glass jar looks effortlessly chic on a kitchen table.
- Natural Confetti: You can crumble the dried flower heads in your hands to create beautiful, biodegradable confetti in soft pastel shades.
- Wreath Texture: Use small clusters to add "spots" of colour to a green foliage wreath. The flat heads sit beautifully against moss or eucalyptus.

Perfect Dried Companions
Enhance the meadow feel by pairing Yarrow with wilder textures:
- 🌾 Dried Feather Grass (Stipa): The Softener. The wispy, cloud-like texture of Stipa grass looks incredible next to the solid plates of Yarrow. It adds movement and softness.
- 🌿 Dried Ammi Majus: The Lacy Layer. Ammi has a similar flat shape but is much lacier and more delicate. Using both together creates a sophisticated "layered" look.
⚠️ Sunlight Warning
Dried pink and apricot flowers are photosensitive—they will fade to cream/brown if left in a bright conservatory or sunny window. To keep the pastel colours vibrant, display them in a spot with indirect light.
