This may be colour of the leaf, the contrast in the different colours on the leaf, and often, the intensity of a particular colour such as white.

Unveiling the Intricacies of Hosta Root Structures
However, what is underneath makes the difference in whether you get a good one or not. The root structure is probably the most important element of the Hosta.
