How big is it supposed to be?

I fave a Great Expectations that did that. 7 years later, it's still that size. That's why they call it Great Expectations.

My experience is when a hosta develops those little leaves, it never breaks out of that pattern.

At that size, the good news I'd have room for more hostas - lol. And a strong set of binoculars.

Link below for hosta library pic of Magic Fire. I believe its sport of Sagae. So I expect similar in size.

Here is a link that might be useful:

pot it into a 6oz solo cup.... 10% fertilizer.. until the roots hit the side and then bottom .. then pot up to an 8 oz cup ...same with roots... then to a 16 oz cup .. etc ...

keep it in the shade but high bright light.. near the spigot and water/feed it every day ... gal milk jug with fert just sitting next to it ...

by fall you ought to have a great plant to put back in the ground for winter ...

you may have success doing this...

otherwise .. i would bet that shiny buck.. that it will disappear into the forest floor next winter
