Sagae Hosta (Hosta 'Sagae')
Sagae Hosta (Hosta 'Sagae') is a grand, award-winning perennial celebrated for its bold variegated foliage, strong architecture, and long-lasting garden presence. With its commanding size and crisp leaf contrast, this stately hosta makes an exceptional focal point in shaded borders, woodland edges, and foundation plantings.
Distinctive Features
Sagae grows 28 to 32 inches tall and spreads 60 to 70 inches wide, forming an upright, vase-shaped clump of thick, heart-shaped leaves. Each leaf displays frosty blue-green centers with striking creamy-yellow to white margins that brighten and broaden as the season progresses. The foliage is slightly wavy and held on strong, upright stems. In midsummer, tall scapes carry pale lavender flowers above the foliage, attracting pollinators and adding soft vertical accent.
