Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’

Angelina Stonecrop

Sedum rupestre 'Angelina' produces clusters of small, star-shaped yellow flowers in midsummer, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators while adding cheerful seasonal color. Slender, needle-like succulent leaves emerge bright golden yellow and develop warm orange and amber tones during cooler weather, forming a dense, cascading carpet that provides year-round interest. The evergreen foliage creates a soft, finely textured appearance, while trailing stems weave between rocks or spill gracefully over walls and container edges.

Design tip

Use brilliant chartreuse foliage to brighten the front of sunny borders and illuminate darker corners of the landscape. Balance its bold color with cool blue foliage, deep green evergreens, and flowering perennials to create a vibrant planting that remains attractive in every season.
