Stevia is a fascinating herb that’s become quite popular as a natural sweetener alternative to sugar. The leaves can be harvested throughout the growing season, with the sweetest flavor just before flowering. Stevia makes an interesting addition to herb gardens and can be grown successfully in containers, which is especially useful in colder climates where it can be brought indoors for winter.
