Growing Stevia in Australia

• Climate: Loves warm, sunny spots; partial shade tolerated. Protect from frost in cooler areas. Stevia dies back in winter in my Port Stephens garden and comes back late spring even though we have no frosts.
• Soil: Well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 6.5–7).
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist, avoid waterlogging.
• Size: 30–60cm tall, 30–50cm wide—ideal for garden beds or pots.
• Harvest: Pick leaves before flowering for maximum sweetness; use fresh or dried.

Perfect for home gardens in NSW, QLD, VIC, and subtropical regions, Stevia is a must-have for anyone seeking a natural, healthy, and sustainable sugar alternative.
