This cultivar of unidentified parentage was originated by David Stone of Connecticut and registered on his behalf by Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1988. It is a small plant that grows about 10 inches high with a spread of 23 inches. The foliage is medium green in color with a gold marginal variegation. It bears purple flowers in August.

This cultivar was named by Henry and Frank Payne of Piedmont Gardens for their sister.

In The Hosta Journal (1992 Vol. 23 No. 1) there is an article by Peter Ruh about the so-called David Stone Medium or Miniature hostas which went by a numbering system that started with DSM. This cultivar was called DSM #7 and was described as "Small plant, green leaves, with white to yellow border, named by Payne."
