Description
Stevia rebaudiana is a South American sweet herb whose single leaf tastes many times sweeter than sugar, yet contains no calories. It is not winter-hardy in temperate climates and is best kept as a houseplant during the fall.
Care instructions
Bring the plant indoors before March and only plant it outside after the last frost, or grow it year‑round in a pot. Place it in full sun and warmth, watering evenly without waterlogging. Harvest individual leaves continuously from July onward. Overwinter the plant in a bright location at around ten degrees Celsius.
