This hybrid of H. 'William Lachman' was originated by Dr. Lloyd (Gil) Jones of Michigan and registered by Tony Avent of Plant Delights Nursery in North Carolina in 2007. A medium size plant, it bears lavender flowers from late August into September.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Do not confuse this with Alex Malloy's 'Shazam', a streaked seedling."
