Sedum 'Angelina' (Sedum rupestre 'Angelina') brings a palette of yellow to the garden. The foliage features shades of yellow, gold, and orange, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is in June-July. The clump reaches approximately 15 cm in height and spreads to 60 cm; use these dimensions to place the plant as ground cover and at the edge of beds.

In terms of cultivation, Sedum 'Angelina' prefers full sun to partial shade; the recommended soil is well-drained, rather light; avoid water pockets around the crown. After planting Sedum 'Angelina', water enough to thoroughly moisten the root ball. Once established, allow the surface to dry between waterings and prioritize drainage, especially during thaws. Maintain 60 cm as a general spacing between plants; this helps preserve their shape and allows access for care. The indicated hardiness level is zone 4, to be assessed according to your garden's conditions.

To maintain the appeal of Sedum 'Angelina' after flowering, avoid abundant fertilizers and either keep or remove dried inflorescences depending on the desired winter effect. The fleshy leaves of sedums do not compensate for poorly drained soil; their base must quickly shed excess water. For pairings, consider yarrows, border sages, and catmints in varieties with similar needs. Keep its 15 cm height in mind to place lower plants on the correct side and allow flowers to be visible during June-July.
