I'd REALLY like to trade for Stevia plants. I am willing to send multiple seed packs AND postage.... whatever you feel is fair. Being in MS, there are a LOT of diabetics both in my church and in the community, and I would really like to grow some stevia to help out. (I'm a diabetic as well, so I know how expensive this product is on the market!)

If there's no one with stevia out there, I'd be more than willing to trade them for heirloom veggie/edibles.I'm most interested in varieties that grow well in containers OR that are VERY easy to grow.

If you have any questions, PLEASE ask! I'd rather answer 10 emails and get a trade than have to throw seeds away.

Perhaps it takes a long time to grow out to a size that could be harvested?

Is it really as sweet as sugar? Do the leaves have to be dried first before use. Do you just place one or two in a glass or cup of beverage to sweeten it? What a fascinating plant!

Thank you for the helpful comment. I didn't mean to imply the original poster purchase via the link, only to show that Stevia seed were available for sale. I should have done a better job with my comment. However, since you've explained that the seed are difficult to germinate, I can understand why the OP is looking for plants.

Thanks for the clarification. Mary
