This Tardiana-type hosta is a cultivar originated by Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan and was registered on his behalf by Rod Kuenster of Iowa in 2010. It forms a miniature size (5 inches high by 10 inches wide) hosta with blue-green foliage. The leaves are broadly ovate, slightly corrugated and shiny on top with thick substance.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "I've seen this listed as 'Valentine Blue'...No doubt, it is one of the many descendants of 'Dorset Blue' or 'Blue Moon' from Herb Benedict."
