Stevia (Pelleted Seed): Natural Sweetness from Your Garden
Cultivate your own natural sweetener with our Stevia (Pelleted Seed). This sought-after herb is prized for its leaves, which, once dried and processed, offer an intensely sweet alternative to sugar. Imagine sweetening your favorite beverages and desserts with a product reported to be up to 300 times sweeter than traditional sugar!
Originating from Brazil and Paraguay, Stevia is a tender perennial, hardy only in warmer climates (zones 8-10), making it an ideal annual in most regions or a delightful indoor plant. Embrace the natural sweetness that many appreciate as a healthier option. Please note that these seeds are pelleted for easier handling and sowing.

Growing Stevia from Pelleted Seed
Start your Stevia seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost. Sow the pelleted seeds shallowly on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix. Do not cover the pellets, as light aids germination.
Maintain a warm soil temperature of 21-24°C (70-75°F) and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots.
