Plantain Lily 'Sagae', 'Sagae' Hosta
Among the most popular variegated hostas ever introduced, Hosta ‘Sagae’ (Plantain Lily) is a clump-forming perennial forming an impressive mound of large, thick, wavy, widely oval, frosted blue-green leaves turning gray-green and adorned with broad, irregular margins. Emerging bright yellow, the margins turn creamy-white as the season progresses. Celadon streaks are painted in the area between the center and the margin. Racemes of funnel-shaped, lavender flowers appear in profusion in summer on scapes rising well above the foliage mound to 49 in. tall (122 cm). Slow to establish, this spectacular hosta eventually makes a remarkable specimen and adds great color to the shady border.
