This open-pollinated seedling of H. sieboldii was originated by Henry Ross of Ohio and registered on his behalf by Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1978. It is a medium size plant which grows to about 12 inches in height with a spread of 25 inches. The yellow plant has a green marginal variegation on its elliptical shaped leaves. Purple, funnel shaped flowers bloom in August.

The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "Moderate growth rate. Easy to grow. Very underrated...Leaf color changes throughout the season giving a tricolor effect and also a vivid contrast with the rich violet flowers."
