This is one
of those cases where there are two hostas with the
same name. One is registered (shown above) and,
therefore, the "official" version of H. 'Blind
Date'
while the other is a non-registered plant.
This large
size plant (20 inches high) is a hybrid of H. 'Dorothy
Benedict' × an unnamed seedling which was
registered in 2011 by
Dr. Dick and Jane Ward of Ohio. It has light green foliage with a pale
yellow marginal variegation. The leaves are slightly
rippled, wavy, dull on top and broadly ovate in form
with a flat base. Near white, tubular flowers bloom
from June into July.

'Blind Date' (Ward)
According to
The Hostapedia by
Mark Zilis (2009), this is a non-registered cultivar
of unidentified parentage from
Bill Meyer of New Jersey. From a photo on the
Hosta Library, it appears to be a large size, blue-green
hosta with creamy yellow to white streaked
variegation.
