Its dark green foliage has a lighter green marginal variegation. The leaves are nearly round, slightly cupped, moderately wavy, moderately corrugated and shiny on top. Pale lavender flowers with slightly darker stripes bloom from July into August on scapes 36 to 48 inches tall but does not set seeds.

The registration materials state: "...Seersuckering and corrugation very evident with leaf lip slightly cupped. An eye catcher because of the size and rich color with shiny, very thick rubber-like leaves."
