Description:
Stevia rebaudiana is a bushy plant known for its leaves, which are up to 300 times sweeter than sugar. This plant grows 18 to 30 inches tall and is typically grown as an annual, though it can be perennial in USDA zones 10 and warmer. Stevia prefers sandy-like soil and cannot survive frost, making it suitable for warm climates. It is native to Brazil and Paraguay and is widely cultivated for its use as a natural sugar substitute. The plant's sweetness comes from steviol glycosides, making it a popular choice for those seeking a low-calorie sweetener.
