This cultivar resulted from a cross of an H. 'Sun Power' seedling x H. 'Donahue Piecrust' that was registered by Don Dean of Minnesota in 1999. The medium to large size mound has a semi-upright form and leaves that are heavily rippled and slightly corrugated. From June into July, it produces lavender flowers.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Don Dean (2007) has observed that bracts subtending the lavender flowers of 'Fluted Fountain' have a reddish rose tint.'
