Hi MS. Jekkas herbs has the stevia I think. I am hoping to go to Kenyon's herb farm in Croft  next week so I will have a look for the rose geranium. I have that as an essential oil & it is lovely. There is also a sweetener that Patrick Holford recommends & I will look that one up for you to see if it's of any use.

thank you, Janet, that would be great, will look up the jekkas herbs now  ;D

Jekkas may be expensive minimum order is £15 (3 plants) + £8.75 postage.

Nickys nursery have stevia seeds @ £2.55 for 40 seed. Each plant grown from seed will have a different level of sweetness once you have identified a plant with the right level of sweetness for your needs you can take cuttings to produce more identical plants.

They also have the rose geranium seed but they are not that cheap @ £7.40 for 10 seeds.

had a look, you're right, baccyman, I ordered stevia and bergamot, 12.00, came to 20.25 with postage so I'll leave it a while, good idea about nikki's seeds, we've bought from them before and they're a good company  ;D
glad the chamomile is ok, thifasmom, ours is just starting to flower, really easy to do cuttings(plantlets) from

Saddad it took me a while but I got it in the end ;)
