Medium sized hosta averaging 25" high by 60" wide and occasionally larger. Leaves are 10-1/4" long by 9" wide, nearly rotund shape; blue-green early becoming dark green by late summer; often heavily cupped upward resembling a lotus leaf. Thick underside bloom, moderate to heavy corrugation; thick substance with 14-15 vein pairs.

Flowers late June into early July with near-white flowers with a pale lavendar mid-petal stripe; on scapes 24-30" high. Many seed pods. Registered by Mildred Seaver in 1985. Seedling of 'Wagon Wheels' and is a sibling of 'Sea Gold Star' (gold), and 'Muriel Seaver Brown' (blue).
