Description

STEVIA (Stevia rebaudiana) is a native to Paraguay where it has been used for centuries as an all-natural sweetener. As it comes from a sub-tropical environment, it should be treated as an annual in zones other than Zones 9-11 until experience tells you otherwise. But it is a good container prospect so you can winter indoors with proper acclimation. Happily, light pruning of the plant tips maximizes plant yield and strengthens branches and the prunings are, of course, edible. Wait until the main shoots are 10" long and/or side branches are 9" long before pruning and enjoy your harvest! And in late summer/early fall, take some 5"-6" cuttings to pot up - they will root quite successfully. One live plant in 3-4" pot shipped Monday-Wednesday. Please only select priority mail at checkout. As the seasons change, shipping may be held if weather enroute or its destination dictate. If you believe your plant arrives in poor condition, please email a photo within 24 hours of delivery. I can do nothing without that courtesy.

MEDICINAL USES: Stevia is a 100% natural, effective and safe alternative to sugar and without the additives that commercial stevia may contain. Use the leaves fresh in teas and coffee (just bruise and add a tiny leaf to your brewing grounds to pre-sweeten). Or make tinctures for other liquid form uses. Can also be dried and ground into a white powder, which is the form you find in health food stores. Use with culinary caution as it is powerfully sweet - 1 teaspoon of Stevia equals 1 cup of cane sugar!

GROWING TIPS: Difficult to start from seed, stevia seedlings can be grown year round indoors with proper care, or harden off when nighttime temps reach 50 degrees and plant outside, spacing 8" apart. Do not over water. You will have the greatest success if you remember this is a tropical plant and requires protection when temperatures dip below 50 degrees. When plant reaches 10", you can begin light pruning to strengthen and make bushier (and use the pruned tips). Pot up to larger pots as growth dictates. Enjoy your natural sweetener!

Now Shipping ...

Items listed as "Ships Now" ship within 1-2 business days (non-holiday Monday-Friday). We reserve the option to hold small seed orders when a variety (as noted on the listing as "coming") is not yet in until the order can be filled completely. For larger orders, we ship what is available and back-order the remainder. Live plants ship when weather and your zone permit. By the way, once your order leaves our hands it will be in the hands of the shipping carrier, usually USPS, which is experiencing delays due to high volume. If you have any questions, please email us using the contact link on the website. Thank you!

Why not visit our smaller collection on Etsy? You will get free shipping with your order of $35 or more!
