Sweet Stevia Herb Growing Habits

Non-GMO (Stevia rebaudiana) stevia plants grow as warm-season perennial herbs, reaching 1-3 inches high and 18 inches wide. Sweet stevia produces from mid-summer to early fall. Stevia develops bright-green, fuzzy leaves that provide a naturally sweet flavor. Sweet stevia grows until hot conditions set in, and it should be harvested before its buds fully open. By late summer, stevia blooms with small white flowers.

The Natural Sweetener Uses of Sweet Stevia Garden Herb & Seed

Because the dried or fresh bright-green leaves of Sweet Stevia are often used to sweeten herbal teas, a variety of foods and beverages can be sweetened, including coffee and oatmeal! Blend up leaves of stevia to add to fruit smoothies. You can easily make stevia extract with 1 cup of water and ½ cup of chopped leaves. Bring both to a simmer, steep for 30 minutes, strain the stevia leaves, and store the extract in a jar for up to 3 weeks.
