Shade, where did you buy your plant?
I bought mine from a nursery already established but you can grow it from seed. You can order it via its botanical name Stevia rebaudiana but it's also known as Sweet Honey Leaf too.

Liquid stevia does not require refrigeration as it isn't fresh to start with and is preserved with an additive so it'll sit okay on the shelf in your cupboard. Sam's Club packets also contain additives and includes Maltodextrin which people with sensitivities to corn have got to be careful with as it can cause reactions.

I've only recently learned, much to my horror, that Stevia was banned in the US until 1994.

We've had it forever over here!
