Jim Dishon of Michigan registered this hybrid of H. pycnophylla x H. montana in 1996. It forms an upright growing, medium size (13 inches high by 40 inches wide) mound of blue-green foliage. Near white flowers bloom from mid-July into August followed by viable seeds.

The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by Diana Grenfell (2009) states: "The thick glaucous bloom soon disappears from the upper leaf surface, which is then very shiny, giving a gunmetal-like appearance...gracefully shaped leaves."
