This medium size hosta was registered by Mary Chastain of Lakeside Acres Nursery in Tennessee in 2002. It grows to 12 inches in height and 3 feet wide with foliage that is convexly cupped. The medium purple flowers bloom in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "No doubt this has H. yingeri in its background, based on its flowers and the appearance of its foliage. It's one of those unusual hostas that you can't stop looking at. The super-shiny, dark green leaves belie the notion that green-leaved plants can't be exciting."
