(Stevia rebaudiana) Tender Perennial. Also known as Sweet Leaf, this South American native herb has been used as a natural sweetener for centuries. It is primarily cultivated for its incredibly sweet leaves, which, when dried, become a versatile sweetening agent for a variety of desserts and beverages, an ideal herbal alternative for those looking to reduce their sugar intake. Surpassing the sweetness of sugar, stevia powder is reported to be a staggering 300 times sweeter and with zero calories! The bushy and high-yielding stevia plants flourish in rich garden soil and containers.
To Grow:
Start indoors 6 weeks before last frost. Gently press seeds into the surface of the soil, but do not cover as light is needed for germination. Keep soil evenly moist. Germination is naturally low. Transplant after last frost into fertile, well-draining soil. Do not overwater. Pinch back tips to promote bushier growth. Store seeds in a cool location for the best germination rates.
