Angelina Stonecrop

About this plant

Angelina Stonecrop, or Petrosedum rupestre, is a dazzling succulent known for its needle-like foliage that glows a brilliant golden-chartreuse, often tipped with fiery orange or red in cooler temperatures or with sun exposure. This vigorous, mat-forming perennial creates a dense carpet of color, making it an exceptional choice for rock gardens, borders, and cascading over walls. Its unique texture and brilliant hue provide year-round interest, offering a striking contrast against darker plants or stone. Exceptionally tough and adaptable, Angelina Stonecrop thrives in challenging conditions, requiring minimal care once established, and tolerates poor soils where many other plants fail. Perfect for adding a splash of enduring color to sunny, dry spots, this award-winning sedum variety is a favorite among gardeners seeking both beauty and resilience. Its vibrant presence will elevate any garden design with its cheerful, ever-changing palette.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Extremely low-maintenance. Prefers well-draining soil; amend heavy clay soils with grit or sand. Fertilize sparingly, if at all, in spring. No significant pruning required, though you can trim to shape or remove spent flower stalks if desired. Highly tolerant of drought and heat once established.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
