This cultivar is an open-pollinated seedling of H. montana 'Aureomarginata' which was registered by Dr. Jim and Jill Wilkins of Michigan in 1989. It forms a giant, vase-shaped mount about 32 inches tall by 75 inches wide. The leaves are slightly wavy, deeply veined and have thick substance. In July, very pale purple flowers bloom on 4 foot tall scapes.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Except for its all green color, 'Mount Fuji' is nearly identical to H. montana 'Aureomarginata' and may be the best example of a typical H. montana in both foliage and flower."
