I grew it in the ground several years ago. Like Angela, I didn't give it anything special and it grew fine. It was an impulse plant, but since I use very little sweetener, I never used it culinarily. However, I recently purchased a tiny amount of the powered variety at my local herb store to sweeten a breakfast drink concoction I've started making. I already knew it is 300 times sweeter than sugar. Even using an almost microscopic amount, it's TOO sweet for my taste! I switched to agave syrup.
