This sport of H. 'Fortunei Aureomarginata' was originated by Hugh Redgrove of New Zealand and registered in 1999 by Barry Sligh of Taunton Gardens in New Zealand as part of his Kiwi Series of hostas. It forms a medium size mound about 22 inches in height by 45 inches in width. The leaves are ovate shaped and they have a thin bloom on the underside. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.

Hugh Redrave was a well-known plant breeder in New Zealand.
