Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni
2-3 ft. Hardy annual/Tender perrenial
The dried leaves of this interesting shrub from Paraguay and Brazil are used to sweeten drinks. It is legal to grow and sell Stevia, which is 300 times sweeter than sugar, but not to call it a sugar substitute. The FDA has regulated it as a “dietary supplement.” Tricky to germinate, it must be surface sown in warm (80-85?F) soil. Can be grown as a perrenial in zones 8-10
