A playful succulent with plump, jelly bean-shaped leaves that shift from bright green to rich red in Cape Town’s cooler months (May to August). In spring and early summer (September to December), it produces cheerful clusters of small yellow star-shaped flowers, adding a burst of sunshine to its colourful foliage. Perfect for pots, rockeries, or mixed succulent displays, this water-wise plant thrives in full sun and semi-shade. Add the Jelly Bean Plant to your collection for year-round colour and irresistible charm. Jelly Bean Plant Sedum rubrotinctum
Plant in sandy, well-draining soil and position in full sun for the richest red tones, though it will also thrive in semi-shade. Water sparingly, allowing soil to dry between watering, and reduce watering in winter. Pinch back leggy stems to encourage bushy growth. Protect from frost and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
The Jelly Bean Plant’s leaves can blush deep red when exposed to bright sun or cooler temperatures, giving it a dynamic, ever-changing look throughout the year.
