Angelina Stonecrop
Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’ · a creeping gold sedum
A fast, mat-forming stonecrop grown for spiky chartreuse-yellow leaves that turn orange-red in cold weather, ideal for rock gardens, edging, pots and draping over walls. It's tough against drought, heat, pollution, deer and rabbits. Wet or poorly drained soil is its only real enemy, and it can spread beyond the bed.
