Hello
help wanted to trace seeds or plants of Stevia Rebaudiana Bertoni
There is much information on Google about the plants behavior
Sadly not any information on where to buy plants or seeds
It would seem that the plant is a godsend to those on diets
I have also searched the Chilterns Seeds no luck
Any information gladly received T.I.A.

Any report I've seen from people who've tried to grow it says that the
germination rate for seeds is around 30%. Plus it's only a half hardy
perennial and may take a year to grow to a decent size when you can
cut substantially from it.
