Notes
Jelly bean plant (Sedum rubrotinctum) is a succulent for borders, containers, and xeriscape beds. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 9 and warmer, down to about 20°F (-7°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes full or part sun and dry, sandy soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, so it needs little care. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Aeonium, Echeveria, and American century plant.
