An H. 'Fortunei'-type plant, this cultivar was introduced by Herbert A. Zager and registered for him by The American Hosta Society in 1986. The small size mound grows to about 8 inches in height with a spread of 19 inches. Its green foliage has a white medial (center) variegation with a heavily twisted form. Pale lavender flowers bloom in July.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "...long-known to hosta collectors for its odd, twisted foliage...variegation tends to vary from clump to clump."
