Registered by Van Sellers of North Carolina in 1983, the parentage of this cultivar is unknown. It is a large size (26 inches high) mound of vase shaped, green foliage with reddish petioles. Pale purple flowers are borne from late July into August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this plant "...is notable for its intense purple red petioles, but as a landscape plant it has value for its vase-shaped mound habit, large size and tall flower scapes."
