Registered by The American Hosta Society in 1986, this cultivar was introduced by Carl Betcher. It is a seedling of H. 'Tokudama' with a leaf blade that turns upward on the edges and has near white flowers from June into July. The leaves are moderately corrugated and have thick substance.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...always attracts attention, not only for its rich blue foliage color, but for the way its leaf margins often cup upward."
