Compare before you buy
A cultivar profile is a plant reference. It does not mean a grower currently has that plant for sale.
Check the grower directoryAbout Sagae
Sagae brings a wide leaf and a soft pale edge to a hosta planting. Its margins are irregularly wavy rather than a perfectly flat stripe. The registered foliage combines yellow-green centers with a lighter yellow border.
Liberty is a sport to compare if you are considering this family. Regal Splendor is another upright-looking variegated option, but it has different parentage and a longer leaf. Ask a nursery for a mature-clump photo and the expected garden size. The registry measurements describe the submitted plant, so they should not be used as a guaranteed limit for an established garden specimen.
