It is a large size (30 inches high by 72 inches wide) mound of vase-shaped foliage with a cream margin. The leaves are ovate, slightly wavy, smooth textured and have thick substance. They have a yellow marginal variegation which is wider than a similar hosta, H. 'Regal Splendor'. It has flower scapes up to 5 feet tall that bear medium lavender flowers from late July into August. It does not form seed pods.
