Stevia Seeds for Your Home Herb Garden - Sweetleaf Herbs

Everything Important At A Glance

Perfect for Experienced Growers - Stevia, or Stevia Rebaudiana, is a rewarding crop for seasoned gardeners. This herb, grown for its sweet leaves, thrives in warmer climates (Zone 8-11) as a tender perennial. However, it needs frost protection elsewhere.

Limited Germination - Stevia has naturally low germination rates, around 10 to 40%. For best results, sow indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost at 75°F. Barely cover the tiny seeds; light aids germination. Under optimal conditions, seeds will sprout in 7-14 days.

Compact and Versatile - The plant reaches about 18 to 30 inches, making it ideal for containers or in-ground food plots. Once established, it’s easy to grow, low maintenance, and heat-tolerant, thriving in poor soil. You can propagate more plants with cuttings.

Low-Carb Sweetness - Stevia offers a natural, low-carb alternative to artificial sweeteners and sugar, tasting like fresh leaves. A little goes a long way; 3-4 teaspoons of finely ground powder can replace a cup of cane sugar. Harvest leaves before blooms to maintain sweetness and avoid bitter flavors.

Sustainable Growing Tips - Each packet contains about 15-20 tiny seeds, carefully packed for your convenience. Follow the instructions for successful growing and germination. Save seeds after harvest for future use.
