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.

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'.

I am usually wrong at guessing hosta names but I think that I will give PEACE a try.Phil

'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?
