(Richard Grant) expounded:

In early May I transplanted 3 hostas, one of which is Frances
Williams. The leaves were variegated on all of them. The hostas all
look fine but they're all green, no color. Will their original color
return? I live in zone 5/6, north of Boston.

Most likely not, Frances Williams is a sport of sieboldiani, I think,
it sounds like yours reverted back to the green form, which is not a
common thing to happen, but it can.

But transplanting wouldn't alter the genetics of the plant. More
likely light, as Digital suggested.

I have had gold standard and great expectations revert after they were
divided.
