Don't looking like a virus hosta to me
After buying hosta when I was newly introduced to them , I was told this one had a virus and to throw it out. Never had the heart to do that so planted in a container, hid it behind the house in a corner , lack of soil and water and almost forgotten, 5 years later it is a beautiful plant and no signs of a virus to me, Possibly might be an August moon but it really doesn't look like my other one. goes to show you not to believe everything that is told you/
Some of my plants had to be potted that were getting squeezed out of their zone and a quick plant until I can find a home for them in the fall .
Also some of the volunteers that were dug out of the paths and replanted in the sunny bed. If they die it would be no loss as I happen to have many more.
one volunteer has a lighter streak in the center of one or two leafs.. hope they stay
year 2 and others survived the sun but time will tell if the hosta do
tired of the others not downloading,,, got to love the houzz wait times
Thanks for viewing, Faye

ken..... It is very Blue in real life. Camera actually shows great true colors. The pots are a bunch I made years ago called Hypertufa ( draping pots ) That one was 24 x 24 and really heavy to lift when wet. Couldn't get the box out when it was dry so I left it inside.. Made with cement, peat moss and perlite , Consistency of gravy and then dip old blanket or sheets and draped over what you have. I made some with stacked coffee cans but this was the heaviest one I ever made and still lasted over the years of weather.
Fun project I was going to make my fortune selling them but sold one and gave away several and kept the rest The ones I forgot to make a drain hole died when the water collected in them. Also made big leaves and bird bath

OT, my wife and I do draped hypertufa pots and sell them @ a local nursery, Phoenix Perennials in Richmond. Here's a couple of samples in our front sideyard...
This one we call Empress, and it has an 'Empress Wu' in it...
And here's 'Wheee!' in a pot we call Cuppa.

I don't recall the formula but think it is 1 of each portland cement, perlite and peat moss and enough water to make it like a runny gravy. I did mine in a wheelbarrow and
they will withstand the winter if a whole is drilled in the bottom. I thing there are many different instructions and videos on pot ideas on the internet . Make sure you spray with cooling spray or they will stick to the mold you use. Found a picture of some I made if you wish to copy
Just make sure you soak the clothes enough or they will be flimsy. Found the site I used https://www.thehypertufagardener.com/revisit-draped-hypertufa-planter/
