Stevia LIVE Starter Plantm [Tea Herb]

Stevia rebaudiana LIVE starter plant

Common Name(s): Candy leaf, Stevia, Sugar leaf, Sweet leaf

Stevia is a tender perennial herb requires rich well-drained soil and thrives in warm humid climates. Having Stevia plants at your home or office is a convenient way to always have a way to sweeten tea. Sugar and honey both require quite a bit of effort to process to shelf stable forms from start to finish. Stevia is easy to air dry at home and can be stored in any airtight container for off season use.
It can be used fresh when it is in season and only one leaf paired with a sprig of Chocolate mint can be a delightful sugarless snack and to freshen a dry mouth.

Stevia contains a number of natural compounds that can be more than 300 times sweeter than saccharose, the sweetener derived from sugarcane. Stevia contains a number of natural compounds, including stevioside and rebaudioside A., Stevioside is believed to have anti-tumor, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. 

All Stevia plants will be shipped carefully in packaging that best suits your order for affordability and plant hydration with least amount of leaking inside your package. 
Our plants are not dormant and are already starting to grow out, so we may trim them lightly to help untangle the new growth unless specified that you do not want them trimmed for shipping.
 
Please note we ship all LIVE plants in biodegradable grow pouches to keep the roots healthy and moist and the pot in the pictures shown will not be in your shipment. 

We only ship LIVE plant orders on Mon-Wed to assure that your plants will arrive without heat damage from April-Sept. Thank You for your patience and planning with your live plant order.
