These Hostas have gotten to big for the area they are in. Can someone help me ID them? Looking to see if they’ll get bigger? Plan on moving them in the Fall and not sure if I should divide them or not. But....I'd really like to move them now, but don't want to do any harm. Thanks!

My guess is wide brim also. Here's mine. The cream will turn white as the season progresses.

well.. you can also throw them away to be replaced by named varieties.. as you need the space ... 10 years old... was the giver by a collector???? i think.. there are only about a thousand named green hosta ... unless it jumps out of the ground.. and smacks one of us in the face ... you may never know its real name ... but do try again.. the minute it flowers next season ... that gives some of us.. a chance to run outside.. and compare green plants that flower in the same moment ... the only way.. to insure a name.. is to buy from a knowledgeable hosta seller... and label and map your hosta ... i like to say.. a $100 hosta without a name tag.. is a 5 dollar hosta ... but that said.. there are the ten foot rule hosta ... though not many of them are just green [its on the FAQ page] ken ps: and if it does jump out of the ground and assault you .. get a ten foot pole.. and beat it to death.. and get it off the property ... thats a little to aggressive.. for me.. lol ... pps: and there is always the chance.. it was a rogue seedling.. complicating all this ....

I didn’t have the option to post to the Hosta forum when I made this. Thanks, I thought there was a specific forum.

The last one could be Fragrant Bouquet. Flowers would help narrow it down for all of them.

The Hosta Forum is in the list of forums when you first start a topic. It’s just called ’Hostas’.

I’d love to divide the Sum and Substance. Do I need to wait til Fall?

I prefer to divide when the weather is warm and keep it watered. it gives them time to re-establish during the season.

I didn’t notice the underside of the leaf when I first guessed BOG. I wasn’t sure the leaf shape was correct….but now that I see the white underside, I agree, Sum &Substance.

Good eye ademink!

The third one could be SEA DREAM - I find it has a narrower margin than Fragrant Bouquet.
