This open-pollinated seedling of the species H. nakaiana, was originated by Ellie Brinkerhoft Springarn and registered on her behalf by Peter Ruh of Ohio in 1996. The foliage is dull yellow in color. It forms a small size plant (6 inches high by 16 inches wide) with slightly corrugated, ovate shaped leaves. Medium purple bloom in July.

The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack (2010) says: "A very pretty plant that provides excellent color contrast in a mixed planting."
