Large Hosta Suggestions

Greetings all from zone 7 - (6 weeks till spring) - Maryland
A question regarding hosta's. 'She who must be obeyed' mentioned that
she's
tired of the green and cream vaiaged hosta's that were adorning the walkway
for the past 10 years...(btw, I planted those myself, fed them, divided
them
and developed my green thumb with them... there's a little proudness over
here).
So, there are several spots in the landscape where a very large specimen
Hosta would
live nicely. Large meaning 3 foot tall, by about 6' around..... I
can't remember
the name of the Blue Hosta's that grow that large, but are there other
suggestions ??
Where would be a good place to purchase these plants Mail order works for
me,
as none of the local Big Boxes or Garden centers have much of a selection,
except
for the usual plants....
It's 6 weeks till spring.....I need to get out and do something for the
garden.
Your thoughts and suggestions are appreciated...
Thanks !!
Peter
Elegans comes to mind.

May be cheaper some where else. White flower does have other blue
hosta's use them as a visual plant dictionary.
Bill who likes hosta mixed with caladiums especially white christmas.
