Exactly! I always went by the general saying that Sagae was a little slow.
Now I know why it was so with mine. After all these yrs., and having
started with a fairly large piece, I kept waiting for it to spread. It had
the height and beautiful large leaves, but never spread.
This is making me think of a couple of other hostas that I had purchased at
the same time, and planted the same way, straight out of the pot, into their
hole. Will have to check them out this spring.
