Dr. Kevin Vaughn of Massachusetts registered this medium to large size (23 inches high) yellow foliaged hosta in 1987. It is a hybrid of H. 'Golden Waffles' × H. 'Rough Waters' with pale purple flowers in late June and, according to The Hosta Handbook by Mark Zilis (2000) is "underrated".

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...certainly ranks as one of the best gold-leaved cultivars ever developed...it produces purple flowers that contrast nicely with the bright gold foliage."
