  H.
'Neat Splash' ×
H.
gracillima
were crossed to create this cultivar which was
registered by
Roy Herold of Massachusetts in
1993. The small size (6-8 inches high by around 12
inches wide) mound of dense, moderately wavy foliage has
purple flowers that open in August followed by viable
seeds.
 The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "Grow in
a pot until the root system is well established before planting
out. Best suited to a rock garden or small container with small,
round-leaved hostas for contrast...The leaves are strongly
undulate to twisted which causes the base of the blade to fold
in the enter; the leaves become flatter and wider as the plant
matures. Variegated leafy
bracts are clasped to the scapes."
 In
Greek mythology, Medusa was a gorgon with snakes growing from her skull.
