Sedum reflexum 'Angelina'

– Attracts bees and other small pollinators when in flower

– Dense mats may also serve as cover for small beneficial insects

– Spring: brilliant golden foliage with fresh new growth

– Summer: bright color and modest bloom

– Fall: foliage often develops orange to red tones in cooler weather

– Winter: foliage persists as evergreen or may bronze slightly in cold zones

Evergreen groundcover

– Rock gardens and alpine gardens

– Green roofs and retaining walls

– Container gardens

– Drought-prone sites and sunny slopes

– Needle-like, fleshy leaves in dense, spreading rosettes

– Brilliant chartreuse to golden-yellow foliage, especially in full sun

– May develop orange to copper tones in cool temperatures or fall

– Evergreen in mild climates; semi-evergreen in colder zones

– Small, star-shaped bright yellow flowers in short clusters

– Bloom period: early to midsummer (June–July)

– Flowers rise slightly above the foliage and attract pollinators

– Modest display compared to dramatic foliage

– Plant in early spring or fall for best establishment

– Space 12–18 inches apart for full matting effect and spread

– Requires well-drained soil—ideal in sandy, gravelly, or rocky loam

– Avoid heavy, wet soils that retain moisture

– Plant crown at soil level and water lightly after installation

– Trim lightly to maintain shape or contain spread as needed

– Prune back in early spring if winter damage occurs

– Tolerates shearing to rejuvenate growth

– Drought tolerant once established

– Requires moderate watering during establishment period

– After establishment, only water during prolonged drought

– Avoid soggy or overly moist conditions

– Thrives in full sun (6+ hours/day) for brightest foliage coloration

– Tolerates partial sun but may turn greener and grow more loosely

– Occasionally used for succulent arrangements or living roofs

– Easily harvested by snipping stem segments for propagation

– Not typically used in cut flower arrangements

– Fertilization is not typically necessary

– Apply light compost in spring if soil is very poor

– Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers which may reduce foliage quality

– Insect-pollinated; bees and hoverflies are common visitors

– Primarily grown for foliage; propagation typically via cuttings or division

– Thymus praecox or Delosperma – mat-forming, drought-tolerant groundcovers

– Sempervivum (Hens and Chicks) – for rosette contrast

– Lavandula angustifolia – complements Mediterranean-style dry gardens

– Festuca glauca – soft blue foliage contrast

– Allium ‘Millenium’ – upright accent and pollinator appeal
