Dr. Jim and Jill Wilkins of Michigan registered this sport of a seedling of H. 'William Lachman' in 1995. It grows into a small size (9 inches high) mound with leaves that are slightly corrugated and have thick substance. Medium lavender flowers bloom in August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Perhaps I'm missing something about this plant. 'Star Struck' appears to have a lot going for it, yet it is not in the nursery trade. The creamy leaf center contrasts beautifully with the dark green margin and the plant seems to be a decent grower..."

There is also a cultivar named H. 'Starstruck'.
