Sedum rupestre ex ‘Angelina’ (Reflexed Stonecrop) [20 Seeds]

$4.50

Germination Information: If your heart is set on the gold-leaved ‘Angelina’, which is indeed lovely, you’re best off starting with a purchased plant. It’s readily available and easy to propagate by cuttings. But if you enjoy experimenting and can appreciate getting both yellow-leaved and blue-green seedlings, these seeds could be worth a try. I suggest getting them started by surface-sowing the tiny seeds in a pot in warm, bright conditions. (I started mine outdoors on April 1, and they began sprouting in mid June.) If you’re starting yours outdoors, make sure you protect them from slugs; my seedlings all disappeared, with only slime trails and a few leaf bits left, just a few days after sprouting.

Description

Reflexed stonecrop (Sedum rupestre, also known as Pseudosedum rupestre and Sedum reflexum) is a low-growing species with small, starry, yellow flowers in summer over slender, needle-like foliage that persists through winter. I collected these seeds from the well-known selection ‘Angelina’, which has bright yellow foliage that turns orange in winter. After finding many yellow-leaved offspring from it over the years, I did a test sowing and found that about half the seedlings had yellow foliage and half had the usual blue-green to light green of the species. I was surprised, since I’ve never seen any of the latter in my garden, but well, just so you know…not all of the seedlings will be bright yellow. Full sun to partial shade. Perennial; Zones 4 to 8.

2022-collected seeds are sold out. I hope to collect again in September 2023. At least 20 tiny seeds. Shipping to US addresses only.
