H. ‘One Fine Day’

Overview

Registered in 2012, *Hosta* 'One Fine Day' is a medium-sized cultivar of unknown pollen parentage, with *H.* 'Hearts and Flowers' as the pod parent. Its visual distinction arises from the strong contrast between the medium green leaf centers and the wide, flat, yellow margins, which measure approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) across.

In the Garden

'One Fine Day' forms a mound-like clump reaching 12 inches (30.5 cm) in height and 21 inches (53.3 cm) in diameter, with a moderate growth rate. It performs best in partial to full shade, typical for hostas, and the broad, ovate leaves with cordate bases provide a dense groundcover effect. The dark green scapes rise to 30 inches (76.2 cm), though flower height is not recorded. Companion plants such as ferns or *Heuchera* in contrasting foliage colors complement the yellow-edged leaves.

Care Notes

Water regularly to maintain consistent soil moisture, especially during dry periods. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Like most hostas, it is susceptible to slug and deer damage, so protective measures may be necessary in gardens where these pests are present.
