With very heavy substance and good slug resistance, 'Sagae' provides pale lavender flowers on 34 scapes in mid-summer.

Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5.  Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots.  It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails.  Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light.  The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves.  'Sagae' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant.
