Dried Achillea 'Marshmallow' Bunch
If you love the look of Gypsophila (Baby's Breath) but hate how brittle and messy it can be when dried, Achillea 'Marshmallow' is your new best friend. Unlike standard flat Yarrow, this variety produces sprays of double, button-like flowers that look like tiny marshmallows or popcorn.
Dried to a beautiful shade of antique ivory-cream, it provides a "frothy" texture that softens any arrangement. It is incredibly durable, making it the perfect filler for autumn wreaths, buttonholes, and vintage-style bouquets where you need volume and lightness without the shedding.

🌿 About these Stems
These are the air-dried stems of Achillea ptarmica 'Marshmallow'.
The Colour: While pure white when fresh, these flowers dry to a lovely warm cream or parchment colour. This gives them a sophisticated, antique look rather than a stark, artificial white.
🎨 Styling Ideas
Achillea 'Marshmallow' is the ultimate neutral mixer:
- The Wedding Filler: Use it exactly as you would Gypsophila. It fills the gaps between larger flowers (like Roses or Peonies) and adds an airy, romantic feel.
- Wreaths: Because the stems are branched, you can cut them down into smaller pieces to tuck into moss wreaths. The little white buttons look like snow against pine or fir.
- Buttonholes: It is tough enough to withstand being pinned to a lapel without crumbling.
