Sedum rupestre 'Angelina'

Stonecrop (Sedum rupestre ‘Angelina’) is a low growing, evergreen perennial that spreads and creeps slowly with small bright yellow foliage that forms an attractive spreading mat of colour. It is drought tolerant and will flourish in well-draining soils as well as containers with excellent drainage. It has yellow flowers that bloom in the summer and amid of its foliage. Stonecrop is an excellent choice for rock gardens, rock walls, and borders. It is often used as an edging plant due to its low growth habit and is an attractive groundcover. Stonecrop is very tolerant of wind and salty conditions and can even be used as a ground cover on banks to provide erosion control on coastal sites.

watering

For optimal growth, water Stonecrop (Sedum rupestre 'Angelina') about once a week during the growing season, or whenever the soil feels dry to the touch. Provide just enough water to moisten the soil, avoiding letting it become soggy. During the winter months, when the plant is dormant, water only occasionally. Avoid watering during periods of frost or extremely cold temperatures.

sunlight

Stonecrop (Sedum rupestre 'Angelina') grows best in full sun, meaning that it needs at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. If it’s planted in partial shade, it won’t flower as abundantly. The best time to get direct sunlight is during the mid-morning or middle of the day. The sunlight intensity decreases as the day progresses, and too much exposure later in the afternoon may lead to sunburn in the foliage.

pruning

Stonecrop (Sedum rupestre 'Angelina') should be pruned in the spring when new growth begins. Pruning should be done sparingly, removing just a few stems at a time. This will help keep the shrub compact and promote new, lush growth throughout the season. If pruning to shape the shrub, prune by removing the individual stems and shaping it back to your desired outline. For excessive growth or rejuvenation, it may be necessary to trim back the whole shrub, but this should be done with care. After pruning, it can be helpful to fertilize with a balanced fertilizer and make sure the soil is adequately moist to support its regrowth.
