I've bought plants and grown it - but not from seed.
I found it overly sweet with a strange aftertaste. Tried to sweeten rhubarb with it but I could still taste the Stevia - not sweetened rhubarb.
Gave a leaf to several people to taste but none of them liked it.

Have you tasted a fresh leaf or just the processed stuff?
I've tasted both Veggie. A while ago they were selling plants in the garden centre so I 'sneaked' a leaf or two. Couldn't believe how sweet it was and like you felt it had an aftertaste.
I have some stevia sugar bought a while ago at Aldi so added a couple of  heaped spoonfulls to my Hibiscus cordial and it greatly improved it.
I could drink the Hibiscus tea nice and chilled on a warm day without sweetener, but on a dull and rainy day I think the stevia 'lifted it a bit. Rolleyes
Going off subject for a minute or two, you get a lot of bang for your buck with these hibiscus flowers! Cool I put a handful of flowers in a large glass jug and added a small amount of boiling water then filled it up with cold water. Allowed it to steep for a couple of hours then drank most of liquid from it. Filled it up with cold water and I am ready to go again! Cool It might not be the healthiest drink, but its certainly the prettiest and the taste is drinkable! Big Grin
