Mojito Mint Candle · The Garden Collection

A bright, cool soy candle that becomes a planter. Light it through the season, then sow the seeds inside.
 
Mojito Mint smells like the moment you crush fresh mint into a cocktail glass, sharp, sweet, and unmistakably cold, with the faint citrus lift that tells you summer just walked into the room. It's the scent of a porch on a long evening, ice clinking in tall glasses, the kind of night that goes on longer than anyone planned. All captured in 7 ounces of hand-poured soy wax.
 
Inside the box, you'll find the candle, a matchbook of wooden matches to light it, and a second matchbook tucked alongside — filled with spearmint seeds. When the wax is gone, wash the jar, fill it with soil, and plant what you smelled. The candle becomes a vessel. The scent becomes a plant.
 
Spearmint is famously enthusiastic, it grows quickly, spreads happily, and gives you fresh leaves for tea, cocktails, and cooking all season long. The jar your candle came in could be muddling next summer's mojitos.
 
Part of The Garden Collection — a small line of candles paired with the seeds of the plant that inspired each scent.

Burn · Plant · Grow Trim the wick to a quarter-inch before each light. Burn in four-hour stretches. When the candle is finished, wash the jar with warm soapy water, remove the wick tab, fill with potting soil, and sow seeds a quarter-inch deep. Place in a sunny window or a partly shaded spot. Spearmint germinates in 10-15 days and is ready to harvest in roughly 70-90 days. Mint grows vigorously — pinching the tops encourages bushier plants and prevents flowering.
