The Wild Colour Palette
Four tones make up this collection, and none of them shout. Pewter is a soft metallic grey that changes in different light, cooler in the morning and warmer toward evening. Sage sits close to a muted olive: green enough to register as green, quiet enough to work as a neutral. Stone is the warm anchor, a sandy-grey that grounds the other three. Deep teal is the darkest tone, rich and full, the colour of deep coastal water on an overcast day.
Together they feel less like a flower arrangement and more like a piece of the landscape brought indoors. If your home already runs to natural materials, linen textures, and muted walls, Wild will blend without disappearing.
We make every pom from 100% New Zealand wool on wire stems wrapped in biodegradable jute twine, and hand-finish the bouquets at our Cornish workshop in Mithian Downs, St Agnes. No plastic in the product or the packaging.
How to Style Wild Bouquets
Natural interiors
Pair Wild with a stoneware or earthenware vase. The sage and stone tones sit well alongside raw ceramics, wooden furniture, and woven textiles. A Grande Bouquet (ten stems, 6cm poms, £68) gives a solid, rounded shape that holds its own on a mantlepiece or sideboard.
Mixed-collection arrangements
Deep teal crosses over into Sea Glass territory, and pewter connects easily to Coast's cooler tones. Buy individual colour sets (five Grande at £37, five Pop at £32) and mix. Pewter poms from Wild combined with frost poms from Sea Glass create a cool, graduated arrangement that works in a bathroom-adjacent bedroom or a hallway.
Minimal styling
The Trio (three stems, £24) in a slim glass bottle or a concrete pot is all you need for a desk, a bathroom shelf (keep dry), or a narrow windowsill. Wild's muted tones look right in small quantities where brighter collections might overwhelm.
Frequently Asked Questions About the Wild Collection
What colours are in the Wild collection?
Four tones: pewter, sage, stone, and deep teal. The palette is drawn from the enduring colours of the Cornish coast, the tones that weather salt and wind and stay.
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.
Does the Wild collection work in a bathroom?
The bouquet itself should stay dry, so it suits rooms next to bathrooms or in dry powder rooms, but not spaces with regular steam or humidity. Wool holds its shape in normal household conditions and does not need water.
