1. It's really easy to grow.
Just give it average soil, water before it droops to much, and give it full sun. It grows like the weed it is.

The best advice I can give about Stevia is to sample a leaf of the plant before you buy it. Some are much more bitter than others. The one I had 2 summers ago was awful. The one last year was a lot better.
