Is this a coleus blumei/pumilus plant?

I have this plant growing in my front yard, it's actually fairly big but it looks like a coleus blumei or pumilus. What do you guys think?

From my vanatge point it looks like a Hosta variety. Certainly not a coleus.

That really really really looks like a Hosta. Although, there are many coleus varieties and I'm sure some could look like that. If the plant grows out from the ground in girth-ey herbaceous shoots then it's a hosta. If it has stems and branches it could be a coleus.
