Mid-Atlantic Gardening: Wowed by a Hosta, 1 by largosmom

Agreed, hard to say. However, the most likely common candidate is a hosta named Sieboldiana 'Elegans', which is large, blue, corrogated (pillows), and has large clusters of white flowers pretty early in the season. For me it usually blooms in late June or even the 4th of July. Charlottesville may be enough warmer to push it earlier in the year. There are a number of similar hostas, but this one is pretty common. It's a medium to large hosta, but the leaves aren't tall like some. The blue tends to burn off in the heat since it is caused by a waxy coating on the green leaf. The flower clusters are pretty generous and close together.
