A hybrid of H. 'Dorothy Benedict' × H. montana macrophylla was registered by Dr. Dick and Jane Ward of Ohio in 2000. It forms a medium to large size plant with green foliage that has yellow marginal variegation. Near white flowers bloom from late June into July.

Hosta 'Laura' honors a granddaughter who is the sister of Sarah Jane.
