Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) — also called Sweet Leaf — is probably the sweetest plant in the world. It contains stevioside, which is 300 times sweeter than sugar without the calories. Add a fresh bruised leaf to iced tea, or harvest the leaves, dry them, and grind to a powder for use in drinks and cooking. A vigorous tender perennial used worldwide as a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners. No calories, no carbohydrates, no tooth decay. 20+ seeds per packet.
Start indoors 8–10 weeks before last frost. Germination best at 70–75°F — seedlings emerge in 10–21 days. Surface sow — seeds need light to germinate. Transplant outdoors after last frost in full sun, well-drained soil. Space plants 18 inches apart. Water consistently. Harvest leaves before flowering for best sweetness. Tender perennial — bring indoors or treat as annual in colder zones.
