I am fairly new to gardening. My 'Angelina' in the past week looks like it is going to seed. Do I cut the tall spikes or leave them alone?

I don't grow Angelina myself, but most sedums can take just about any sort of treatment. If, at this point, the plant looks ungainly or messy because it is going to seed, go ahead and deadhead. It can't hurt it. You might even get a second flush of flower later in the season. If, however, you are hoping for seedlings, of course you wouldn't cut it all back. I don't know how well her seeds might germinate, but some sedums do provide volunteers.

Many Thanks! It was looking tall & stringy, so I took your advice & shortened the tall pieces. It looks much better. I am just learning, but it's a wonderful hobby. Thanks again & HAPPY GARDENING!
