Originated by Pauline Banyai of Michigan, this cultivar, an H. montana seedling was registered by her son, Bruce Banyai of Delaware in 1999. The small size mound grows to about 10 inches in height and has heavily rippled foliage with pale lavender flowers blooming in July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...shows no resemblance to H. montana, more likely being related to H. nakaiana."
