Description
(4-6" tall x 12-24" wide) 'Angelina' Creeping Sedum is a low maintenance
solution for an easy-to-grow, high-color groundcover. Bright
golden-yellow foliage spreads to form dense mats of evergreen foliage.
Small star-like yellow flowers appear over the foliage in mid-summer and
bloom for more than four weeks. In fall the foliage glows with an
amber-orange tint adding another dimension to the garden. A pollinator
favorite, it is frequented by beneficial insects and pollinators
including bees, birds, and butterflies. ‘Angelina’ is a great choice for
rock gardens, retaining walls, alpine plantings, and containers. It
will naturalize and spread to cover hospitable ground. Happy in full sun
and poor, gravely, sandy soil, it just needs good drainage to thrive.
Disease resistant, this hardy perennial Sedum needs no special care once
established and is deer and rabbit resistant. Just plant it, water to
establish, and enjoy. The succulent foliage stores up water for lean
times giving this tough plant great resilience. Hardy in zones 5-9, the
succulent foliage is also easy to propagate – just break off a stem and
plant it where you want it. It will beautifully fill in crevices in
rocks and will fill in spaces between larger plants.
