This self-pollinated seedling of H. 'Purple Verticulated Elf' (and a sibling of H. 'Amethyst Facet') was registered by Dr. Ralph (Herb) and Dorothy Benedict of Michigan in 2000. The miniature size (4 inches high) plant has pale lavender flowers in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Though not well-known, 'Amethyst Chip' rates highly for blue-green foliage color. By being a selfed seedling of 'Purple Verticulated Elf', it can be considered a seventh generation Tardiana seedling."
