Growing Onesta

Plant your tubers in full sun once the ground has warmed. Onesta thrives in fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Pinch the central shoot early to encourage bushy growth and more stems. Cut regularly to keep flowers coming all season, as the more you pick, the more it produces. Tall but self-supporting, it rarely needs staking.
