Stevia From Seed

[greenthumbomaha]

My well intentioned plan to bring my purchased Stevia plant indoors did not work out (it flowered at the end of the season, may be a true annual), so I am going to try and start a few new plants from seed.
Stevia seed is iffy to germinate according to many youtubers. Its really expensive too.
Buying the seed is confusing. Different sellers name it as Sweetleaf, Candy, and just plain ole Stevia. Are they one and the same?
Burpee has a new hybrid available only as a plant.
Ant thoughts on the different varieties?
