The unique characteristics of Achillea

What makes Achillea so special is its structure. The flower consists of hundreds of tiny blossoms that together form a flat "screen." This creates a beautiful horizontal contrast in a field bouquet filled with vertical growers like delphiniums or grasses.

• Color palette: Ranging from vibrant yellow and deep red to soft pastels like pink and terracotta.
• Vase life: As a fresh flower, it will easily stay radiant for a week in one of our stylish vases.
• Dried flower queen: Achillea retains its shape and color fantastically when dried, making it an essential for any dried flower collection.

Styling tips for a natural interior

Looking to create a botanical atmosphere? Achillea is perfect for loose, casual styling. Place a few individual stems in various small vases from our home accessories collection for a playful effect on your windowsill. By playing with different heights and colors from our range of fresh flowers, you can instantly create an eye-catcher that radiates both tranquility and energy.
