    Scented candles for plant lovers

    Candles that smell like the greenhouse

    These candles are for people who would rather their home smelled of leaves than of sugar. The Tomato Leaf Scented Jar Candle is crisp, green and a little sharp, like tomato plants in a greenhouse on a warm afternoon. It suits a kitchen or a conservatory. The Bonsai Tree Scented Jar Candle opens with orange, grass and yuzu, with jasmine and petitgrain in the middle and a base of balsam and woods. It is brighter than Tomato Leaf and sits well in a room full of houseplants.

    Both are made in England by Osmology by Aery from 140g of plant-based wax and give around 30 hours of burn time. They are vegan and cruelty-free, and the amber glass jar can be reused once the candle has burned down. For more scented gifts, browse our self care gifts or the botanical soaps and hand creams.

    Choosing a candle as a gift

    Think about where the candle will be lit. Tomato Leaf is a good choice for a keen vegetable grower or anyone with a greenhouse, and Bonsai Tree is an easy pick for someone with a windowsill of houseplants. A candle and a card make a small, complete present: our plant greeting cards are blank inside, so they work for birthdays, thank yous and Christmas. For a bigger gift, add a living plant from our plant starter kits or the luxury houseplant gifts collection.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    The Tomato Leaf candle smells of tomato leaves and crisp green notes, the scent you get when you brush past tomato plants in a greenhouse. It is fresh and slightly sharp rather than sweet.

    The Bonsai Tree candle has orange, grass and yuzu at the top, jasmine and petitgrain at the heart and a base of balsam and woods. It has a medium fragrance strength and suits a living room or a corner full of plants.

    Both the Tomato Leaf and Bonsai Tree candles hold 140g of plant-based wax and give around 30 hours of burn time. The real figure depends on how long you burn it each time and on draughts in the room.

    On the first light, let the wax melt right across to the edge of the jar before you blow it out, which helps it burn evenly afterwards. Trim the wick before relighting and never leave a lit candle unattended.

    The candles are made in England by Osmology by Aery from 100% plant-based wax. They are vegan and cruelty-free.

    They come in reusable amber glass jars with fully recyclable packaging. Once the candle has burned down, clean out the last of the wax and use the jar for storage or as a small vase for cuttings in water. For other things for the home, see our home accessories.

    A candle goes well with a card or a second small gift. Our plant greeting cards are blank inside, and a Kew Gardens hand cream suits someone who spends a lot of time potting up.

    For a larger present, put a candle alongside a plant from our luxury houseplant gifts, or one of our plant starter kits, which pair houseplants with the potting mix they need.

    Choose Tomato Leaf for someone who grows vegetables, has a greenhouse or misses the garden over winter. It is a green, savoury scent that suits kitchens and conservatories.

    Choose Bonsai Tree for someone who prefers a brighter scent with citrus and jasmine, or who keeps a lot of houseplants. If you cannot decide, a GrowTropicals e-gift card lets them pick.

    Yes. Our All Gifts page covers books and games, pots and macrame, plant care and stationery as well as candles and toiletries. The self care gifts collection groups the candles with our soaps and hand creams.

    Black November is a whole month of plant deals, so our Black November sale is a good place to find a plant to give with a candle.
