Overview

Up to 300 times sweeter than sugar, the fresh leaves of stevia are used as a low-calorie, natural sugar alternative in many foods. Leaves may also be dried and used in a similar way. Attractive white flowers with purple accents sugarcoat the uniform and basally branching stems later in the season. Great for pots and an amazing experience to taste such sweetness in an otherwise unassuming strap-like leaf. Growing instructions: Sow indoors or under glass from March and lightly cover with peat-free seed compost. Germination can be sporadic and take up to 3 weeks at 68°F (20°C). Transplant when seedlings are large enough to handle and grow on, planting out once all risk of frost has passed. Alternatively, direct sow in late spring. Pinch out the growing tips regularly to encourage new growth. Sow: March to May Harvest: June onwards
