						Dr. Ed Elslager of Michigan  
				registered this hybrid of H. 'Dorothy 
				Benedict' × 
							H. hypoleuca  in 2000.   The 
							giant size (30 inches high by 43 inches wide) 
				mound of heavily corrugated, deeply lobed foliage bears pale lavender to near 
				white flowers from late June into July followed by viable seeds. 
						  
							  According to
				
							The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), this cultivar "...has the
							Sieboldiana  look and can be 
				thought of as a significant improvement over 'Northern 
				Halo'."  
				
				The New Encyclopedia of Hostas by
				Diana 
				Grenfell (2009) states: "Slow growth rate. Needs plenty of space as it 
							eventually makes a huge clump...The huge arching 
							leaves have attractive variegation and good surface 
							texture."
