What do you buy starts of?

New here. Has anyone had any luck starting and growing Stevia? I am in Virginia and would like to try this out. Any info would be appreciated.

I've grown it from starts from the nursery, easy peasy.

Welcome to TEG!

I've grown it in pots from store-bought starts before, very easy. I think it's in the mint family.

Actually, Steve reminded me that I do get Sun golds much earlier. So ha, Thistle.

Hi @Connie - Welcome. I just want to suggest that if you like the dry Stevia in the stores, you may not like it fresh, in the garden. Don't think something has gone wrong; go ahead and dry it. Secondly, slugs like Stevia fresh.

Hi Connie, and welcome. I, too, have grown stevia from started plants. I think Richter's Herbs has the seeds, but I bet it is hard to get germinated. I don't have much luck germinating most herbs. (except parsley)

Haha thistle, but guess what? I will have tomatoes in March also since that's when the nurseries start carrying them.

I'l try to post a picture to prove it.

Well, sure Mary, I bet you will have a few tiny starts to baby along. But will you have some burly, mature, red ones big enough to drive your tractor around?
