Evening Primrose

Magnolia · Peony · Amber

$34.85

Evening Primrose sounds demure, doesn't it? Like something that would apologize for blooming. Wrong. This candle struts into your living room wearing magnolia like haute couture, drops names like peony and amber, and makes your other candles feel underdressed. It's what confidence smells like after 9 PM.

Candle Care

Candle Care 101 (Because You’re Fancy Now)

  • Always trim the wick to 1/4" before lighting. Unless you love smoke and mushroom tops.
  • Let it burn edge to edge the first time—3 hours minimum. This isn’t a quick fling.
  • Make sure the wicks stay centered and upright (like your standards).
  • Keep burn sessions to 4 hours max. Your candle needs a break too.
  • When only 1/4" of wax remains, it’s time to say your goodbyes. Deep breaths.

Bonus: Recyclable & Reusable

  • Packaging? Fully recyclable.
  • That chic glass vessel? Keep it. Use it as a vase, pencil cup, plant pot, or rogue paperclip collector. You do you.

Soft Light. Bold Florals. Quiet Magic.

With Evening Primrose, we set out to capture the quiet beauty of dusk—when florals seem to glow in the fading light. It opens with bold florals and a hint of spice, unfolding into a heart of jasmine, rose, and magnolia—lush and romantic. The base of geranium and lily of the valley adds a fresh, grounded finish. It’s a scent for slowing down, softening the edges, and savoring the in-between moments.

The Uncomfortable Truth About Our Candles

Yes, they're vegan. Yes, they're made from soy/coconut wax that burns cleaner than your conscience after deleting those text messages. Yes, they're hand-poured by people who probably have philosophy degrees and opinions about natural wine.

But here's what really matters: these candles will make you seem more interesting than you actually are. Light one during a dinner party and watch as your guests suddenly think you summer in places with unpronounceable names. Gift one and become the friend who "just gets it."

We're still the best bespoke seed company in North America. But now we're also the seed company that makes candles so over-the-top, so unnecessarily complex, so delightfully pretentious that even we're a little embarrassed by how much we love them.

Shido Seeds Almost Too Pretty to Plant

Sure, your garden will be stunning, but will it outshine the packaging? That’s a tough call.
