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

Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
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.

Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
It looks just like 'Crusader' to me.
Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
I will agree with Crusader. That was my first thought, second guess was Aristocrat.

Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
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
Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
I also thought at first glance that it was 'Crusader'.

Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
I am usually wrong at guessing hosta names but I think that I will give PEACE a try.Phil
Re: Unknown Hosta - Please help
'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?
