Achillea - YELLOW - Cloth of Gold 50cm - (10 stems)
Bring the warmth of a British summer meadow into your designs with our striking Achillea 'Cloth of Gold'. Grown by our passionate local growers across Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire, this premium variety is an absolute standout filler flower. Its dense, flat-topped architecture features large clusters of tiny, brilliant golden-yellow florets that catch the light beautifully, all accompanied by a unique, pleasantly herbaceous fragrance that will delight you and your clients.
'Cloth of Gold' is an exceptional companion flower for high-impact summer arrangements. It pairs beautifully with British sunflowers, creating a rich, sun-drenched tone-on-tone effect, while adding essential structural depth to loose, cottage garden style bouquets. Its flat, sturdy surface provides a wonderful visual anchor that balances out finer textures and linear foliages.
Designed for longevity and versatile floristry, this Achillea handles beautifully on the bench. Use it fresh during the peak of the season to brighten up event work, or easily air-dry the stems to secure an exquisite, everlasting ingredient for your autumn and winter dried flower installations.
