Plant Patent Applied For. One of the best groundcovers yet for quick coverage and brilliant yellow tones, 'Angelina' spreads 2 feet wide in a single season, and in mild climates is evergreen, while in northern ones it turns rich orange for autumn! You can't beat this bold golden sun lover for scrambling across hot, dry, poor soils that other plants shun!Just 4 inches high but spreading up to 24 inches wide in a single season, 'Angelina' is ideal for a variety of settings -- as a spectacular carpet for the spring bulb garden, a container standout, a cover-up for slopes and other trouble spots in the dry, dusty garden, and even as a plain old border plant, carpeting its path in sunny yellow! The needle-like foliage is very eye-catching, and keeps its color all summer. Tiny yellow blooms top it in midsummer, but these aren't much to write home about -- just more delightful yellow for the sunny garden!
In autumn, one of two things will happen. In cold northern climates, its foliage will turn all shades of brilliant orange before dying back for winter. In warmer climates, 'Angelina' will keep its yellow color and remain beautiful all winter! Either way, you can't go wrong with this adaptable Sedum!
Indifferent to heat, cold, and poor soils (even shallow ones!), 'Angelina' is supremely drought tolerant once it gets established in your garden. So plant it out in well-enriched soil the first year, keep the water and food coming, and generally spoil it rotten. This will get its root system firmly developed, and make it carefree for years to come!
'Angelina' combines well with a wide range of other sun lovers. Use it to carpet the ground among your Purple Coneflowers, Gaillardias, and Gauras, as well as to spill over the front of the border where Coreopsis and Shasta Daisies color the garden from summer through fall with their bright blooms!
Space these plants about 15 inches apart for a solid carpet of gold. Zones 3-8.
