567100 Sagae
Watanabe 1996
This is my favorite Hosta, bar none. First of all it’s unique, you can’t
mistake it and I don’t know of anything else like it. More
important, it is absolutely stunning. I really believe that if you have
a yard full of beautiful plants that includes a mature clump of 'Sagae’,
it is likely to be the first plant people point to and say "What’s
that?" It forms a very large clump, 5-6' wide after a few years.
The leaves are large and heart-shaped, with wavy edges and prominent
veins. They emerge bright green, margined in deep golden yellow, and
later turn to a frosty, silvery gray-green while the margins turn to
creamy white. Pale lavender flowers.

A BRIDGEWOOD GARDENS INTRODUCTION
567900 Satisfaction
Bridgewood Gardens 2000
This is a sport of 'Piedmon Gold' found here at our nursery. It forms a
mound about 3’ wide and has the same elegant form as ‘Piedmont Gold’, wide
and low growing, with nicely rippled, large, heart-shaped leaves. It has
the same rich gold color in its wide, irregular edge, but the center of
the leaf is dark green. When the plant matures, the gold margin measures
nearly 2" wide. Unless the plant is grown in the sun, the bright yellow
edge does not fade to cream or white, so the contrast holds through the
summer. Flowers are pale lavender, again identical to the parent.

A BRIDGEWOOD GARDENS INTRODUCTION
570600 Sergeant Pepper
Bridgewood Gardens 2001
This is a seedling that we selected here at the nursery and first
offered for sale in the fall of 1995. It forms a medium sized mound of
heart-shaped, wavy-edged leaves, about 5" wide and 6" long. The foliage
is chartreuse to gold, depending on light intensity, with a medium green
center streak, about 2" across at its widest point. The leaf has good,
heavy substance, some puckering, and tolerates sun well. The flowers are
near white, with just a slight tint of lavender.
