This cultivar is a seedling of H. 'Chinese Sunrise' which was originated by Van Wade of Wade and Gatton Nursery (Closed 2019) of Ohio and registered on his behalf by Kevin Walek (Hosta Registrar) in 2009. Its foliage changes from gold colored in the spring to medium green in the summer. The mound grows to a medium size hosta with rippled leaves that are dull on top. Bell-shaped flowers bloom from mid-August into September.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...acts like a gold-leaved form of H. 'Lancifolia'."
