Angelina Stonecrop

About this plant

Petrosedum rupestre 'Angelina', commonly known as Angelina Stonecrop, is a dazzling succulent groundcover prized for its brilliant, needle-like foliage. Its golden-yellow leaves, often tipped with orange or red in cooler temperatures, create a stunning carpet of color throughout the seasons. Perfect for adding a splash of sunshine to rock gardens, borders, and containers. This resilient plant forms a dense mat, effectively suppressing weeds and thriving in challenging conditions where other plants may falter. Its low-maintenance nature and striking appearance make it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced gardeners seeking vibrant, long-lasting appeal. Occasional short spikes of small yellow flowers may emerge in summer, adding another layer of interest. Angelina Stonecrop is an excellent choice for xeriscaping projects due to its exceptional drought tolerance once established. Its ability to thrive in poor soils and full sun makes it a versatile solution for hard-to-plant areas, bringing beauty and erosion control to your landscape

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

Angelina Stonecrop is remarkably low-maintenance. No significant pruning is required; however, you can trim back any unwanted growth to maintain its shape. Division can be done in spring or fall to propagate new plants. Generally pest and disease free.

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.
