It's interesting that almost every list I see like this has Sagae on it. A
truly outstanding hosta, IMHO. I was out of the country for most of the
month of August, during which time we had nary a drop of water. Almost all
of my hostas, which had looked gorgeous when I left, suffered some symptoms
of the drought. Except Sagae. Still with that beautiful grey-green color,
not a sign of browning on its creamy edges. I've tended to overlook it at
times in this year's frenzy of planting a new bed and acquiring new cv's,
but it is still one of my all-time favorites.
