Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan registered this cross of H. 'Ginko Craig' × H. plantaginea in 1984. The medium to large size mound grows to a height of about 22 inches with a spread of 48 inches. It bears fragrant medium purple flowers in mid-August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...roughly resembles 'Honeybells'. Its distinction stems from its flowers that barely open."
