Registered by Dr. Doug and Mardy Beilstein of Ohio in
2018,
this upright growing cultivar is a large size (28 inches
high by 45 inches wide) seedling of H. 'Brutus' ×
H. 'Abiqua Recluse'.
Its blue-green foliage is

and dull on top. Pale lavender flowers bloom from June

viable seeds.
The registration materials state: "...Captures
characteristics from both parents. Large clump size and
very corrugated, very cupped leaves resemble Brutus'
home stadium filled with cheering fans."
