Registered by Dr. Jim and Sandy Wilkins of Michigan in 2002, this sport of H. 'Maize and Blue' forms a small size mound. It has thick substance and the lavender flowers bloom in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...is one of two stable sports out of 'Maize and Blue'. The other, 'Yin', has the opposite foliage color pattern. Because of its creamy-centered leaves, 'Yang' is a much slower grower than 'Yin' and difficult to establish in gardens."
