Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’ (Stonecrop)

Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’, or Angelina Stonecrop, is a vibrant and versatile succulent. This low-growing perennial features needle-like foliage in striking chartreuse-yellow shades that intensify to orange and red in cooler months, offering year-round visual appeal. Growing 3–6 inches tall and spreading up to 24 inches wide, it forms a dense mat that works beautifully as ground cover, in rock gardens, or containers. Its trailing habit also makes it ideal for hanging baskets, where its colorful foliage cascades for a stunning display.

Thriving in USDA zones 3–11, Angelina Stonecrop is a hardy plant that performs best in full sun but can tolerate light shade. It grows well in well-drained soils, including sandy or rocky areas, and adapts to moderate or low fertility levels. Due to its drought tolerance, it is perfect for xeriscaping or regions with limited rainfall. Once established, it requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for busy gardeners. Its bright summer blooms attract pollinators, adding ecological value to any landscape. Additionally, it grows quickly, stabilizing soil on slopes and preventing erosion effectively.

Care Instructions

• Light: Plant in full sun for the brightest foliage; tolerates light shade but colors may fade slightly.

• Maintenance: Trim leggy stems in spring to promote dense growth and preserve its shape.
• Winter Care: Mulch lightly in colder regions to protect roots during extreme temperatures.
