A Lustrous Emerald Gem with a Signature Dimpled Finish
Marc Milbradt registered Hosta 'Angie’s Dimples' in 2009 as a stable all-green sport of H. 'Sea Lightning'. The large, heart-shaped leaves are a deep, glossy dark green with a mirror-like shine that accentuates the emerald colour through the season. As the plant matures, the foliage develops a subtle crinkled texture with scattered dimples that catch dappled light and add tactile depth. Foliage is thick and leathery with excellent pest resistance. It grows reliably across Canadian hardiness zones 3–9 and fills the mid-border with a lush, tropical presence.

Grower's Tip: Site 'Angie’s Dimples' in filtered light or deep shade to maintain the high-gloss finish — protection from harsh afternoon sun keeps the emerald colour saturated and prevents leaf stress. It handles Canadian winters with ease from Zone 3 through 9, and we grow it at our nursery in Bécancour, QC where we monitor each division until the signature dimpled texture and glossy finish are fully present before every plant ships. Our True to Type standard means you receive the authentic Marc Milbradt selection, confirmed before it leaves Bécancour.
