Angelina Sedum

Do you love color and hate weeds? Want a layered look in your garden? Maybe you need to soften a rock wall or flagstone garden path? Or perhaps you're just looking for a cute 'spiller' for your container garden?

Then, listen up! Angelina Sedum (Sedum rupestre 'Angelina') is your solution to all of these! This vigorous little groundcover quickly forms a 6-inch mat that will crowd out weeds.

Angelina has brilliant, needle-shaped, golden-yellow foliage. It is also a great butterfly and bee attractor and is disease resistant. It does well in gravelly soil, rocky and sandy soil. Fantastic as edging, ground cover, and in a pot because of its trailing habit.

The foliage will turn golden orange or even a reddish hue in autumn. This is a great choice for beds and borders and the blooms make excellent cut flowers.

Also known as Stonecrop, Sedum features long-lasting blooms that are vibrant yellow and are beautifully star-shaped! With an all-summer bloom time, these keep blooming well into autumn. The brilliant summer blooms attract loads of bees and butterflies!

Use this sedum in a container on a hot deck or around your sunny planters on the patio. It will not mind missing a watering or two throughout the seasons! You can even use Angelina in your window box or hanging baskets for easy care spillers and brilliant color all summer!

Sun Gardens, Perennial beds and Pollinator gardens are fantastic sites for clumps or vibrant green groundcover. These readily naturalize large sunny areas when given the opportunity.
