This seedling of H. nakaiana was registered by Maxine Armstrong of Nebraska in 1970. It forms a small size mound of foliage with a dull top surface and whitish, shiny underside. The leaves come to a distinctive tip. In July, it bears purple flowers followed by many seed pods.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...also exhibits traits typical of H. venusta."
