Stevia

Sweet stevia is a natural miracle from South America that every lover of herbs and healthy sweetening will appreciate. In its homeland, it grows on sunny and partially shaded slopes with well-draining, humus-rich soil. It brought great adaptability from there, so even complete beginners can handle growing it here. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant to a chosen sunny spot in the garden or into a larger container on the patio. During the season, this undemanding annual will grow up to a height of sixty centimeters and form a neat bush full of deep green, aromatic leaves. Common pests and diseases will avoid it. The leaves contain natural substances providing a sweet taste completely without calories. You can harvest them continuously throughout the summer and use them to flavor drinks in both fresh and dried forms. At the end of summer, the stevia will start blooming with tiny white flowers that attract pollinators. For the sweetest harvest, it pays to remove the flowers. The plant will thus retain the maximum steviol content in its leaves exactly at the time when the sweet substances are at their highest.
