Ron Simmering of Iowa registered this sport of H. 'Gold Edger' in 2000. A small size plant, it grows to about 17 inches high and 34 inches wide with lavender flowers in late June.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "The foliage colors of 'Hawkeye Gold' are not as intense as 'Hawkeye' or 'Radiant Edger'...it is an interesting plant."
