This is a tissue culture sport of H. plantaginea which was discovered by Clarence (C.H.) Falstad, III and registered by Walters Gardens of Michigan in 1988. It was patented by Clarence (C.H.) Falstad, III of Michigan as H. plantaginea "White Margin" in 1992 but that has since expired. The medium size plant has green foliage with narrow, white marginal variegation. From August into September, it bears large white, fragrant flowers.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "Unfortunately, it has been a failure as a garden plant because the margins disappear within a few years of planting."
