Welcome to the site!
Beautiful hosta, I think they are over 8000 varieties at this time which may make it difficult.
Suggest asking in the Hosta forum.

What colour are the flowers?
That is another thing to add into the Hosta id equation.

It was recently given to me so I haven't had it long enough to see a flower. Next season! Thank you

Welcome! Pretty hosta, but I don't know off hand just what it is.

I would suggest watching it carefully next season. Take pictures of it throughout the season. Note how large it is (many hostas can look very similar but vary in size. However, in a picture w/o a size reference, it can be hard to tell). Note when it blooms and the colour of the flower. Note anything particular such as coloured flower scapes or petioles. And note whether it stays the same colour from the time it emerges - many hostas change colour a month or two later. When you get all that information, we'll be in a much better position to make and educated guess as to its ID.

Looks a little like Vulcan.

It looks like Loyalist to me. Older variety.

I have 350 plus varieties and keep adding. We had a tough winter in Minnesota last year with very little snow so I did lose quite a number, old and new plantings. Last summer was a rebuilding year. We have a great snow cover this year and about 30 first year plants, so we'll see in spring. I'll post some of the newer varieties come spring.
