This form of H. clausa has lavender flowers that open normally. It is fast growing, rhizomatous, and sun tolerant. Good genetic potential for breeders.

Differs from the species by actually opening its flowers, which are large and dark lavender, among the showiest in the genus. The leaves are shiny dark green and rather narrow. Slow spreading; a very unusual characteristic among hostas. Rare in cultivation.
