A Lustrous Emerald Gem for the Shade
Hosta 'Angie's Dimples' is a distinctive, large-stature cultivar that brings a sophisticated, polished energy to a garden. Originally discovered as a stable, all-green sport of the variegated Hosta 'Sea Lightning', this variety was registered by Marc Milbradt in 2009. It is celebrated for its dense, symmetrical mound of glossy, dark green heart-shaped leaves that provide a lush, tropical feel to woodland borders. As the plant matures in your garden, the foliage develops a unique, subtle crinkled texture with scattered "dimples" that catch the light, making it a standout "boutique" specimen that remains eye-catching from the spring thaw until the first autumn frost.
Why It Stands Out
-
High-Gloss Foliage: The leaves possess a mirror-like shine that accentuates their deep emerald-green colour.
-
Unique Dimpled Texture: Features subtle crinkling and scattered dimples that develop as the plant matures, adding tactile depth.
-
Large Architectural Habit: Forms a commanding, tidy mound reaching 60 cm in width, perfect for filling gaps in the mid-border.
-
Elite Pest Resistance: Its heavy leaf substance and leathery texture make it a tough target for common garden pests.
-
Proven Northern Vigour: Inherits the robust growth and reliable hardiness of its 'Sea Lightning' parentage.

Grower's Tip
To maintain the high-gloss finish of 'Angie's Dimples,' site it in a location with filtered light or deep shade; while it is robust, protection from the parching 2:00 PM sun prevents leaf stress and keeps the emerald colour saturated. At our nursery in Bécancour, QC, we meticulously monitor each division to ensure the signature "dimpled" texture and glossy finish are fully present. Per our "True to Type" mandate, we never ship until we visually verify the health and traits of each plant upon its spring emergence, ensuring you receive a verified, robust plant ready for your Canadian climate.
