Sagae

Hosta of the Year for 2000. Award Winning. (E Hagiwara 96)

Hosta ‘Sagae’ is a cultivar of hosta known for its large, blue-green foliage with irregular white margins. The leaves of ‘Sagae’ are broadly ovate and can grow up to 12 inches long and 9 inches wide, making it a medium to large-sized hosta. The foliage is slightly corrugated and has a slightly wavy edge, giving it an interesting texture. The plant typically grows to a height of about 2-3 feet and a spread of about 4-5 feet.

‘Sagae’ prefers partial shade to full shade and moist, well-drained soil. It is a low-maintenance plant and is fairly tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions. In mid-summer, ‘Sagae’ produces tall spikes of lavender flowers that rise above the foliage.
