This slow growing hybrid of an unnamed blue ruffled seedling x H. 'Blue Moon' was originated by Mark Zilis of Illinois and registered by Jim and Karen Schwarz of Jim's Hostas of Iowa (now owned by Uniquely Hostas of Wisconsin) in 2014. It is a medium size plant (14 inches tall by 20 inches wide) which has intensely blue-green foliage. The leaves have thick substance, are broadly ovate and glaucous on top. Near white, tubular flowers bloom from August into October.

The Schwarz' named it in honor of Mark Zillis and there is no period in the name.
