This plant of unidentified parentage was originated by Dr. Charles Purtymun at Walden West Nursery in Oregon. It forms a small size mound about 9 inches high and 12 inches wide. The leaves are heart shaped and slightly wavy. Pale purple flowers bloom in July.

The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "Vigorous, a rapid increaser. A superb hosta for ground cover although not forming dense mounds."

Similar hostas include Hosta minor, H. nakaiana and H. 'Rock Princess'.
