How Individual Colour Sets Work

Each set contains five poms on wire stems wrapped in biodegradable jute twine. You pick the colour, you pick the pom size, and we hand-finish the set at our Cornish workshop.

Pop Poms measure 5cm in diameter and sit closer together in a vase, giving a denser, softer cluster. Grande Poms measure 6cm and create more space between each pom, so the colour reads as individual spheres rather than a mass. Five of either is enough to fill a small vase on its own or to add a new tone to an existing Protea Poms bouquet.

Building Your Own Arrangement

Matching a room

Start with the dominant colour in your space and find its nearest tone in the range. Azure and Aqua sit in the blue-green family. Pebble, Pewter, and Sage lean toward warm neutrals and muted greens. Sea Pink and Sunrise carry warmth. Two or three sets in related tones, arranged together in a single vase, create a graduated effect you cannot get from the pre-made collections.

Cross-collection pairing

The pre-made collections (Coast, Sea Glass, Sea Pink, Sunset, Wild) each use a curated group of tones. Individual sets let you pull colours from different collections and combine them. Pewter from Wild sits well alongside Frost from Sea Glass. Sea Pink pairs with Pebble for a softer, warmer palette. Cobalt and Deep Water together create a single-note deep blue arrangement with real density.

Gifting

A set of five poms in someone's favourite colour, paired with a small vase, makes a lasting gift that arrives ready to display. The wool is made from 100% New Zealand wool and is naturally hypoallergenic, so it suits homes where cut flowers cause problems.

Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Colour Sets

What colours are available?

The full range includes Sunrise, Pebble, Azure, Aqua, Deep Water, Cobalt, Sea Spray, Sea Grass, Sage, Sea Pink, Sunset, and Pewter, with more tones available as the range expands. Each colour is offered in Pop Pom (5cm, GBP32) and Grande Pom (6cm, GBP37) sets of five.

Can I mix individual sets with the pre-made collections?

Yes. The stems and pom sizes are identical across the whole Protea Poms range, so individual sets slot straight into any existing Coast, Sea Glass, Sea Pink, Sunset, or Wild bouquet.

How long do Protea Poms last?

Protea Poms are crafted from 100% New Zealand wool and designed to last for years with minimal care. Unlike cut flowers, they won't wilt, drop petals, or need replacing, making them an exceptional long-term investment for your home.

Are Protea Poms suitable for people with allergies?

Yes. Our poms are made from naturally hypoallergenic New Zealand wool, making them a beautiful option for those who can't have fresh flowers or synthetic alternatives in the home.

How do I care for my Protea Poms?

To keep your poms looking their best, gently shake or use a soft brush or cool hairdryer setting to remove dust. Keep them out of prolonged direct sunlight and away from humid environments like bathrooms. If storing, wrap loosely in tissue paper. The jute stems can be gently reshaped to suit any vase.
