Grow this fascinating South American plant as an unusual ornamental feature in containers, borders or a warm greenhouse. Commonly known as Sweet Herb, Stevia rebaudiana forms compact plants with attractive green foliage and small white flowers later in the season. Although its intensely sweet leaves have a long history of traditional use overseas, whole Stevia leaves are not approved for human consumption in the UK. This product must therefore be grown for ornamental purposes only.
