Looking for stevia

Fayette, MO(Zone 6a)

Would love some stevia. I tried starting this from seed and have no luck.
I have cuttings from Mexican oregano, scented geraniums: atomic snowflake, Sweet Mariam or citronella, unnamed anglewing begonia cuttings, several different kinds of mint.

KathyJo I didn't have any luck with the seeds either. I did see some nice plants at Home Depot though.

my friend at the nursery where i buy plants said my stevia seeds did not sprout because i kkept them too wet. the should be lightly coverec and very little mositure. so i am trying it again. will let you know if they sprout. if they do you are welcome

Stevia has a better germination rate if seeds are VERY fresh. If you don't have any luck finding seed, contact me in the fall & I will pick some seed for you.

Thanks for the suggestions. I purchased some Stevia seeds and had no luck in germanating them. I see now I must have watered then too much and will try again with the rest! Doris
