I would venture that this is 'Fortunei Albomarginata', if the gold margin turns white as the summer progresses. If the margin stays gold, then it probably is
'Fortunei Aureomarginata'. The leaves will acquire more texture as they mature.

That could well be. If the tag simply said "perennial", I'd venture to guess you didn't buy it at a hosta nursery and I'd watch it carefully for signs of Hosta Virus X (HVX) and ensure that you clean your tool well after doing anything to it for several years. If you don't know about HVX, please Google it and learn. Good hosta nurseries now buy from places that test their stock carefully, but the plants you find at general garden centres often still carry it and it doesn't always show symptoms for several years.

I also have some others that have leafs that look like this without the yellow/white on them. I probably need help identifying all of mine, lol. Thought I kept the plant tags but can't seem to remember what I did with them. Confused

Cat - you may want to watch that one for awhile. The leaves don't seem to be consistent. But you'll also find that the bright spring colour will settle down. A lot of the yellows will become more white during the season. I'd take pictures during the season and also note when it blooms and what colour the flower is. Then we are in a better place from which to make an ID.
