Introduced by Dr. Ralph (Herb) Benedict of Michigan as a seedling selection but not registered, this cultivar forms a miniature size (3 inches high by 7 inches wide) mound of slightly wavy, elliptic-shaped foliage.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "H. 'Little Stirfry' = H. 'Little Stiffy'."

The Book of Little Hostas by Kathy and Michael Shadrack (2010) says: "Although smaller than many otherwise similar yellow minis, it has better substance. Will do well in a small container or tray, and the color contrasts nicely with the dark wood of a tree stump."
