I know some of the "newer" ones are definitely increasing, like my own 'Winning Colors'... I have a couple dozen plants that would be too crowded if I didn't keep taking divisions for friends/guests. But the older mature plants like 'Elegans' or 'Paradigm', I'm not sure if they're continuing to increase in size or not. I have one plant that I don't know what it is... I purchased it as 'Venus', but when it first bloomed the flowers were lavender and not fragrant! I love the plant for its form and vigor, definitely increasing, but I hope to be able to identify it some day! For years now I have been calling it 'Vee-not'!
I'll have to take photos of every hosta there this summer and compare to older pictures... works better than memory!
