  This cultivar is a sport of H. 'Pineapple Upsidedown Cake' that was
discovered by Amy Bergeron
and registered by
Walters Gardens,
Inc. of Michigan in 2005 and granted a U.S. patent in
2007. The medium size, dense mound has leaves
that are narrow, heavily rippled. In August, it bears lavender
flowers.
 According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "When I first viewed this plant during the 2005 "First
Look" seedling and sport competition, I was enthralled with it.
Competition judges voted it the best sport at that meeting, and
deservedly so! The beautiful creamy margins accentuate its
rippled effect, making for a spectacular plant."
 This
cultivar won the 2005
Kevin Vaughn Award at the First Look hosta competition as the best sport as chosen by the AHS Judges.
