Sedum rubrotinctum Aurora

Common Name:
Pink Jelly Bean Plant

Description:
Sedum rubrotinctum ‘Aurora’, commonly known as Pink Jelly Bean, is a striking succulent valued for its plump, jelly bean-shaped foliage that displays soft green tones flushed with creamy pink to rosy red highlights, intensifying in cooler temperatures and bright light. This low-growing, spreading plant forms dense clusters that create a colourful, textural ground cover or cascading effect in pots and hanging baskets. In Melbourne conditions, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, where it develops its best colour and compact form. Small, star-shaped yellow flowers may appear in spring, adding seasonal interest, although the foliage remains the main feature year-round. Exceptionally drought tolerant once established, this succulent is ideal for low-maintenance gardens, rockeries, and indoor spaces with ample light, requiring minimal watering and care.
