Planting & Care

Soil & Water: Grows well in pots or rich garden soil, in full sun to part shade, humidity, and plenty of water. Requires 80-85 degrees F for germination.

Planting & Growing: Heat-dependent germinator, does best if sown just under the surface, tamped well, kept evenly moist and in direct sun or under lights or in a greenhouse with temperatures from 80 to 85 degrees F. Germination in 1 to 2 weeks. Spacing should be about 2 feet apart. Protect from slugs.

Harvesting & Storage: Harvest as late in the year as possible (while still avoiding frosts) for maximum sweetness. Harvest before flowering occurs. Dry and store in jars.

Bad seeds

Very disappointed ! First there wasn't hardly any seeds in package. I think there were to be 25 seeds in package and there were probably 12 seeds. Second only 1 plant has come up.

Very Happy

I have always wanted to try growing stevia from seeds. These seeds germinated, I believe, at 100%.
