Default Need help with identification of garden plant

Found these plants in a public garden on Cleveland's Public Square (in
Ohio) and wondered what they are. Links to photos of them:

Can anyone help me identify them?


It's a hosta variety, of which there are a great many.
For examples, look at:

many of which resemble yours.

The pale margins of the leaf of this variegated form wouldn't
be present on its wild precursors.

Hostas are popular garden plants.
