I don't know anything about stevia. Perhaps it's just shock from being dug up and moved. The lemon verbena may take awhile to adjust to it's new surroundings. Maybe if you cut it back some so that it won't have so much to support that it may be able to revive. |

I would cut the lemon verbena back until it's about 4 inches tall. Next time when your lemon verbena is thriving in the summer, make stem cuttings. They will root and then you could have a lot to bring in for the winter. |

Now that I think about it, lemon verbena is deciduous. It will lose its leaves in the fall and go dormant. I had forgotten that! I don't know what it does if you bring it into the house, but probably does the same thing. |

stevia should live with cuttings ok but isnt i jus hope there ok inside this winter--millaegers WILL have more of both next year but if i can grow my own ill be insane-o-happpy an the stevia looks to be getting woody soo it may be like the lemon verabena i think there both native to a simalar climate (im eager to get afew multi yeart olf plants so the ficus has buddies) |
