ANGELINA STONECROP
Sedum rupestre 'Angelina' is a high-impact, fast-growing stonecrop groundcover that provides a brilliant, year-round color architectural element to the landscape. This award-winner is prized for its needle-like, succulent foliage that emerges in a vivid chartreuse to golden-yellow shade. In the heat of summer, the needle-shaped leaves maintain their bright lemon-gold tone, often topped with small clusters of star-shaped yellow flowers. As temperatures drop in late autumn and winter, the foliage transitions into a stunning palette of deep orange, amber, and reddish-copper tones, offering exceptional winter interest.
To maintain the most intense golden color, plant 'Angelina' in a location that receives full sun; while it can grow in partial shade, the foliage will typically shift toward a more muted lime-green. It is an incredibly rugged and drought-tolerant perennial that thrives in poor, rocky, or sandy soils, provided they are well-drained. Its trailing habit makes it an ideal choice for "spilling" over the edges of stone walls, filling gaps in rock gardens, or acting as a vibrant, weed-suppressing mat in sunny borders. Maintenance is minimal-simply trim back any wandering stems if they outgrow their space and clear away winter debris in early spring to make way for the brilliant new growth.
