Description
🌿 Sedum Angelina – Golden Stonecrop
A bright, fast‑spreading succulent groundcover with golden foliage
A vibrant, fast‑spreading succulent groundcover known for its brilliant golden‑yellow needle‑like leaves that bring instant colour and contrast to any sunny garden. Because Sedum Angelina thrives in full sun, heat, and poor soils, it is one of the most reliable choices for water‑wise gardens, rockeries, borders, and container plantings. Its dense, mat‑forming habit makes Sedum Angelina ideal for filling gaps, softening hard edges, and creating a glowing carpet of colour throughout the year.
🌱 Key Features
- 🌿 Golden, needle‑like foliage that intensifies in full sun
- 🌞 Thrives in heat and drought
- 🌾 Fast‑spreading, mat‑forming growth habit
- 🌼 Produces tiny yellow star‑shaped flowers in summer
- 🪴 Excellent for rockeries, borders, slopes, and containers

🌿 Appearance & Growth Habit
A dense, low‑growing mat of fine, textured foliage that shifts from bright lime to deep golden tones depending on the season and sunlight. Mature plants typically reach 10–15 cm in height and spread 30–60 cm, making Sedum Angelina perfect for edging pathways, filling between stepping stones, or cascading over retaining walls.
In summer, Sedum Angelina produces clusters of small yellow flowers that attract bees and pollinators. Its ability to root along the stems allows it to spread quickly, creating a uniform, weed‑suppressing groundcover with minimal maintenance.
