Sedum Rubrotinctum - Jelly Bean Plant

Add a playful pop of color and texture to your greenhouse with Sedum Rubrotinctum, affectionately known as the "Jelly Bean Plant." This whimsical succulent is prized for its plump, bean-shaped leaves that look almost good enough to eat! While they begin as a cheerful bright green, these "beans" are famous for their dramatic color shifts; when exposed to the sun, the tips turn a brilliant, glossy red, earning it the secondary nickname "Pork and Beans." As the plant grows, it forms low-branching clusters that eventually spill over the sides of their container, creating a colorful, cascading effect.

This exceptionally hardy and prolific succulent is a joy to grow, often sprouting new "beans" from any leaf that touches the soil. Its unique, bead-like appearance and vibrant multi-colored foliage make it a must-have for anyone looking to add a bit of fun and "exotic" flair to their collection.
