How to Grow
Light: Does best in full sun but appreciates some protection from harsh sun and heat exposure in very hot summer regions.
Water: Average to dry. Considered drought-tolerant once established. Overwatering will impair growth.
Spacing: 18 in.
Fertilizing: On average, sedum seldom needed to be fertilized. A handful of all-purpose granular fertilizer sprinkled on the soil each spring is generally all that is needed for poorer soils. If growing in rich soil, it should only be fertilized every other year. Dry granular fertilizers must be watered into the soil.
Winterizing: Does not need mulch in the winter. Remove the debris (such as the remains of showy sedums) from under and around your plants in the late fall and continue to remove any debris as it accumulates. Small animals and bugs may take home in accumulated debris during cold weather.
Maintenance & Pruning: Can cut back in Autumn, after flowering. Divide in spring.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Hope they turn red after planting because this is not what was shown in the photo and NOT what I wanted.
Sedum 'Red Angelina' starts with green foliage in our greenhouse and gradually turns red as it matures. In our greenhouse, our plants are grown under filtered light, and when they are in your garden and they get the full amount of ideal sunlight as they establish, you will see more of the deep red color. We hope this helps answer your question!
Just received my red angelina sedums, but they are green. Hopefully they'll turn red in the sun.
I'm waiting for the plant to turn red from it's present green color; but other than that, all the plants came in great condition & seem to be "happy"
So far so good, can't wait for it flourish!
Arrived with soil fallen out of pot, roots exposed. Unfortunately it died as soon as I planted it.
