On Stage. That's a nice one.

it's a male ... (note the bright coloration)

I disagree with 'On Stage'...

It looks to be in the Halcyon family...perhaps some form of 'June' or 'June Fever'

Leaves look too big for June Fever. I don't know what it is, but I want one!

hippieindenial- Im going with the June Fever...of all the suggestions made, it matches June Fever ......thank you so much for your time!

I think there is too much green the leaves for "june fever". I would tend to agree with Steve

Doesn't seem to have a montana type leaf, so probably not On Stage. Track color later in summer to see if center greens up or fades out.

'June Fever' has glossy leaves, though somewhat difficult to tell in this picture they look more glaucous to me. And the margin strikes me as being a little too wide for it as well. Having said all that, look in the HL and see the colour of the scape on 'June Fever'.....

At first, it looks very similar Remember Me. June Fever (a sport of Devon Green) has a much narrower green margin, and I am sure it isn't that one. But if it is large, then On Stage is a good candidate. How long have you had it? How large are those leaves. Can't always tell from colors this early in the season for you in zone 5. Many hostas change significantly over the summer. Watch it over the next weeks, and note when it flowers, and what the flowers look like, as well as the coloring. Then you can get a more accurate ID.

My first thought upon seeing the pic was that it looks to me like a Halcyon/June family member. Just my opinion. Whatever it is, it's beautiful. Please post more pics as the season moves forward?

I thought On Stage at first as well but what gives me pause is that it seems pretty far along for On Stage in zone 5.
