I've grown it outside and it's come back for going on 3, or 4? years now. I mulch it a bit and it sends up new growth in the late Spring.

I also grow it in pots for my market sales; it grows very well in pots! Use a container two gallons in size or more for the biggest plant growth.

I've put a leaf in my coffee before...depending on which leaf you pick seems to determine the sweetness; in the early part of the year the new leaves don't seem to be very sweet but once they get some good growth they seem to get sweeter. (Most likely due to the photosysthesis/sun and having the abilitly to "make" sugars, eh?)
