- Christy T.CT, United StatesVerified BuyerRated 1 out of 5 stars5/2/26Just buy starts 😩
The first order of Stevia seeds came with only 5 seeds. I let the team know and they resent another pack for free. The next packet of seeds had 10 seeds. I understand that these seeds are hard to germinate. I only got 3 to germinate. 🤷🏻♀️. It is what it is.

I saw tiny leaves this morning (Tuesday) after planting last Friday. Wow. I'm excited to see what I can do with the leaves when they're mature.
