Its leaves are slightly wavy with smooth texture and thin substance. Medium purple flowers bloom in August.

This cultivar was named by Henry and Frank Payne of Piedmont Gardens.

In The Hosta Journal (1992 Vol. 23 No. 1) there is an article by Peter Ruh about the so-called David Stone Medium hostas which went by a numbering system that started with DSM. This cultivar was called DSM #4 and was described as "Small, fragile plant, yellow leaves with cream border, lavender flowers. Named by Payne."
