I have had this hosta for about 20 years and it has sat undisturbed for 9 years. I bought this long ago along with Great Expectations. It was supposed to have been Northern Lights but it is obviously not.
It has 8 vein pairs, leaves are 6", plant height is 12" and width is 16". It is a very very slow grower. It has very slight variegation with a dark green margin on new leaves which doesn't hold as the leaves age. After almost a decade without being touched it only has 3 eyes and has maybe thrown two seedlings. One is a little over an inch tall inbetween the three eyes and the other is about 6" away and less than an inch tall.
This gets a little bit of morning sun and a touch of midday sun for about an hour. It is pretty much shaded in the early morning by my S&S. I am thinking about moving this to a brighter spot to see if that changes anything. I will probably divide it and place each plant in a different location that receives different degrees of sunlight. This grows about as slow if not slower than Great Expectations.

As you can see in the pics, it is a little tasty to the slugs.
