This Tardiana-type seedling was registered by the British Hosta and Hemerocallis Society on behalf of the originator, Eric Smith in 1988. It grows into a medium size hosta about 18 inches in height with a spread of 43 inches. The leaves are slightly wavy with smooth texture and thick substance. Clusters of pale lavender flowers open from late August into September.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...resembles 'Tardiflora' in many foliage traits and its flowering time, but is similar to H. 'Elegans' in its rich blue foliage color and thick substance."
