Sagae Hosta is a large shade-loving herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its dramatic foliage. The erect wavy margined basal foliage emerges frosty blue-green with creamy yellow margins and turns grey green with white margins as the season progresses. Small bell-like pale lavender flowers raise up on scapes in mid summer attracting butterflies and pollinators. Best color in partial sun and moist well-drained soils.
