Jellybean Plant, Christmas Cheer, Pork and Beans
With leaves resembling jelly beans, award-winner Sedum x rubrotinctum is a low growing, evergreen perennial with chubby leaves, about 1 in. long (2.5 cm), which spiral around the stem. Red at the tips with exposure to heat or cold, the leaves turn almost entirely red in summer before changing back to bright green in winter. The sprawling stems root readily where they contact the soil. Abundant bright yellow star-shaped flowers appear in winter and early spring. A tender perennial that can survive an occasional freeze, this Sedum is a great companion plant to other succulents and is a wonderful choice for the rock or succulent garden or in a decorative container or hanging basket.
