    Hi DM,

    It wasn't me, but if you do find stevia seeds, please do let us know how you fair with them. I have begun experiementing with using stevia when I want a little sweet and the results have been so-so. Have you had good luck baking/cooking with it?

    I searched the topic, but didn't see where anyone had them to share. Someone mentioned picking some seeds for it up at lowes, though. I bought mine from a local seed supplier a few years ago and it was difficult to germinate. I ended up with one germinating. I think I bought the seeds at the end of the season, but they still should have been fresh enough to grow successfully a couple months later than spring.

    Thank you for the info.
    I did find the person who is growing the stevia. It was on my other board.
    But thank you for taking the time to do the search. I will let you know if my stevia growing is successful or not.
