Description:
Stevia is a tender perennial herb known for its intensely sweet leaves, which contain natural compounds called steviol glycosides—up to 300 times sweeter than sugar with zero calories. Often grown for use as a natural sweetener, it thrives in warm climates and well-drained soil. Its small white flowers appear in late summer, though leaf production is best before blooming.

Pinch back young plants to encourage bushiness.
-
Harvest leaves just before flowering for peak sweetness.
