Sowing Instructions:
Sow Stevia Rebaudiana seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, placing them in a warm, sunny location. Use a well-draining seed-starting mix and lightly cover the seeds with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once the seedlings are large enough, transplant them outdoors after the risk of frost has passed, placing them in a sunny spot with fertile, well-drained soil. Space the plants 30-45 cm apart to allow for their bushy growth.
Stevia thrives in warm conditions and can be grown in both containers and garden beds, making it ideal for various garden sizes. Once established, this perennial herb will reward you with lush green leaves, which can be harvested and dried to use as a natural sweetener in your cooking and baking. The leaves are intensely sweet, so just a small amount can replace sugar in most recipes. With its easy care requirements and health benefits, Stevia Rebaudiana is a must-have for those looking to reduce sugar intake while adding a lovely, aromatic plant to their garden. Perfect for gardeners seeking a sustainable and natural sweetening solution, Kew VegeTable Stevia is as versatile as it is beneficial.
