How old is it? It looks immature. If it is young and has not developed its true character yet, the coloring reminds me of my Lakeside Banana Bay before it was mature. Otherwise I think you might have to wait for it to grow up a bit before you can really figure out what it is... Just throwing in a guess though.

Leaves are way too narrow for 'Captain Kirk'. Having said that, can't come up with possibilities right off h

At first glance I am thinking Happy Dayz.

Never bought Happy Days, but thanks Beth and Pieter. It’s one that I potted because it wasn’t doing well. I had the tag, but the part with the name got broken off. Hmmmmm, maybe a good search of the area would help. I always keep a duplicate tag in my hosta folder, but I saw nothing there that looked like it or rang a bell.

Captain Kirk is from Gold Standard, so they might be quite similar when juvenile?

Erin, I do have LSBB planted in the ground. Whatever this hosta is I potted it because it wasn’t doing well where it was. It’s been in the sun tolerant bed and doing well with the light conditions.

It could be an immature (or stress-regressed) Captain Kirk.
