My first thought was Aristocrat, but I'll let others weigh in as I'm not too good at identification.....

Hmm, I was also thinking Aristocrat, but then that somewhat square base made me stop and think because that trait looks familiar.

Thought about it, and this plant might be Crusader.

It looks just like 'Crusader' to me.

I will agree with Crusader. That was my first thought, second guess was Aristocrat.

Not so sure I would agree with Crusaider that one to me has much rounder leaves and more solid margins thats much nicer than Crusaider to me it almost looks like a sagae

I also thought at first glance that it was 'Crusader'.

'Peace' is a possibility, but the leaves of MY 'Peace' are much smaller than those on my 'Aristocrat'. How large is the hosta in question?
