This cultivar was listed on the MyHostas Database website. It is an historic hosta which was shipped from England to Chet Tompkins' mother, Cynthia in 1924. She used it in her hosta hybridizing efforts. The plant was said to be medium to large size, "rough" and faintly blue-tinted gray. It is slightly smaller than the typical 'Elegans' types of H. 'Sieboldiana' and had a "silvery patina" on the leaf surface.
