Nursery contributed plant descriptions

'Angelina' has brilliant, needle-shaped, golden yellow foliage that develops bright orange tips in cold weather or during summer droughts. The flowers are yellow but are not often produced. 'Angelina' is a vigorous mat-forming sedum that prefers well-drained soil. Great in rock gardens or in pots or perennial hanging baskets due to its trailing habit. In the garden plant with asters and coneflowers for a wonderful autumn display.

A bright addition for rockery, container or border?s edge, this 3-6" tall groundcover/mounder combines bright golden needle-like foliage (orange in fall) with yellow summer flowers. S/M-D COPF USPPatent

Angelina Sedum is a succulent ground cover with brilliant chartreuse-yellow, needle-like foliage. Small star-shaped yellow flowers add color to containers, dry slopes and rock gardens. In winter, foliage turns orange in cooler climates. Forms a quick ground cover. Angelina Sedum is a brilliant accent next to plants with darker foliage.

Succulent, mat forming ground cover, very textural spikey soft leaves of bright yellow gold that become bronzy orange in cold weather, 3” tall and spreading. Awesome in pots and in living wall compositions. Full sun to very light shade, most soils, on the dry side. Good filler, border edging and rock garden plant. Very easy (you can almost just throw it on top of the ground and it will grow!)

A fast-growing matlike stonecrop with eye-catching lime green foliage edged with burnished bronze tones in fall, it is a clear favorite for covering dry-gravelly places, spilling over rocks or overflowing dry containers of mixed succulents. Bees love the large clusters of starry flowers that bloom in summer.

This 'wow' plant produces a glowing golden mat of narrow, needle-like foliage with yellow spring blooms. It is equally wonderful as ground cover, in the rock garden, along walkways, or cascading over stone walls. Easy to maintain, it likes hot, dry conditions! 'Angelina' sedum creates charming clusters of star-shaped flowers in summer and thrives among rocks and gritty soil. It is also known as Sedum reflexum. The Sedums are known in folklore to as the “live-forever plants”; many believe keeping one in your room will ward off life threatening illnesses. 'Angelina's' cousin, 'Lemon Ball Sedum', tolerates the hot, hot heat of summer even better that 'Angelina', so keep that in mind while garden planning. Both are fun additions to your garden or patio planters. Suggestions: The sedums are a great filler and addition to any area that is less likely to get water. Very drought-tolerant it is very nice tucked in the corner of a flower container or spilling over a stone walkway. It is a classic plant for a rock garden to give it a splash of color! Nice companion plant to the Ice Plant, Candytuft, or Fescue.

Sedum reflexum Angelina Zones: 3-11. Fast spreading sedum Angelina is one of the most colorful sedums as it changes with the seasons: From soft chartreuse in spring, bright neon yellow in summer to reddish-orange in fall, to more intense orange with coldest weather. Does best in full sun, with fast draining soil, also in sandy or rocky soil. No fertilizer needed. Perfect in containers or between pavers, let trail over the edge of a rock garden. Use as a bulb cover, or under taller perennials, and on difficult sandy sites. On New Year’s Day here in western Oregon Angelina is always bright and attractive.

Bright golden-yellow thick needle-like leaves Evergreen

By: Jockey Hill Nursery

This forms a trailing mat of succulent golden-yellow leaves with clusters of yellow starry flowers in summer. When planted in containers or on a wall this develops a beautiful cascading habit and the foliage develops attractive amber tones in the autumn and winter. It does well in large rock gardens but it should be kept away from choice rock plants which it will eat ZONE 5

This sedum variety is native to Europe. Its needle shaped leaves are a bright yellow. This variety is herbaceous.

By: Young's Garden Gift & Pond

An "evergreen" trailing Sedum for sun or partial shade with glowing golden needle like foliage that changes tones with the season. Warm weather brings out chartreuse colors and in cold temperatures 'Angelina' develops warm coppery orange tones. Yellow flowers appear in summer, but should be clipped back as they fade because their brown seed heads detract from the display. Under 3-4" tall, roots along as it spreads. Shipping beefy 4" pots.

By: Avant Gardens

Gold, gold, gold, Angelina makes a bright spot in the garden where there's bright light but not too much heat. Spreads slowly providing plants for sharing. Best in evenly moist soil with a bit of compost. Also useful in a container where its foliage is best displayed. Frost hardy in USDA zone 3.
