How To Grow Stevia From Herb Seeds: Start the Stevia seeds indoors 6 - 8 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use a starter mix and gently press the herb seeds into the soil. Lightly cover the Stevia herb seeds with peat moss. Keep Stevia seeds consistently moist by watering from the bottom of the container. A plastic dome or plastic wrap over the tray or containers is helpful in keeping the moisture in. To encourage a bushier growth, pinch back the tips of the plant 2 - 3 times before transplanting outdoors.

 Transplant outdoors into a prepared bed after danger of frost has passed. If possible, give the Stevia plants some protection from wind. Consistent moisture is important during the summer. Stevia plants can be wintered indoors if given adequate light. A sunny, south facing window or a fluorescent light is needed.
Harvest the Stevia leaves when the flavor is the highest which is before flowering or as soon as the blossoms appear. Stems can be cut in the morning after dew has dried, bunched together and hung upside down in a well-ventilated place. Stevia leaves are crisp and bright green when they are fully dry.
