This pretty little succulent is as tough as they come. Cheerfully tolerant of the temperature extremes from Arizona to Alaska, Angelina is indifferent to poor soils and untroubled by drought. Very low growing with bright yellow tips to her slender leaves, Angelina is a golden treasure in rock gardens, container plantings, on banks and in flower beds. With tiny yellow flowers in mid-summer, and leaves turning a rusty red in fall, Angelina provides year round color and texture for little or no care.
