This reminds me of hosta elegans. I`m not positive but it is a guess. Karen

Thanks for the try on this hosta id.

Maybe some background story will help.
This plant was given to me and I was told it was plantegenius( sp)
The leaves are always green from emergance to frost. It blooms late in summer The photos I have are dated Aug 29 but there are no blooms on photos taken Aug 4 so I conclude this plant blooms somewhere mid Aug. in Z6a.
I doubt this plant is Elegans because Elegans has thicker bluegreen leaves and blooms mid season. I also have Elegans in an other garden as a new plant so it wont bloom for me for another year.
This is another view of the plant. Aug 29

Look at pictures of plantaginea at the Hosta Library. If it is one of those it should be very fragrant.

I`ll take one last stab at it. Royal Standard?

Wow,it`s beautiful! True,the correct ID is in the details! How big does it get? When does it bloom? Does it do well in part sun? Things like that. I don`t know enough about hostas to be much help but maybe someone will come along with more ideas.
