These \"Avens\" produce wiry, dancing stems topped with intricate, starry, burr-like clusters that range in colour from warm reddish-brown to straw-gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese stems are the secret to creating that loose, \"just gathered from the meadow\" look. They are light, airy, and full of movement, making them the perfect filler for breaking up heavy blocks of colour in a bouquet.
