Looks great! I think that is called Hosta Alba Marginata, which simply means "hosta with white margins." I have a clump of it too. Has yours ever flowered? I've found that you can pretty much move hosta whenever you want as long as you keep it watered. Thumbs up

Thanks for your response and the name. Yes, it flowers faithfully every year. Long flower spikes and light lavender flowers. After the flowers quit blooming and the flowers fall off I cut off the spike.

John, looks good! This is good pamphlet for the older hostas: https://www.delvalhosta.org/wh...

Thanks again. I appreciate the help. I think the slugs this year have been feasting on my transplanted Hostas. I haven't gone after them because the plants didn't look real great after they were beaten up by the hail storm we had. Next year will be a different story!
