Tender. Pink and cream bean shaped foliage

By: Little Prince of Oregon

Plump pale blue green foliage takes on pinky peach tones with cooler temperatures. Spreads a bit, makes a great filler plant for containers or where hardy, in beds. shipping 2.5" pots

By: Avant Gardens

Very nice stonecrop for tucking into pots or for the indoor succulent collection. Grows to 6" tall and spreads to 18-36" wide producing yellowish white flowers in the summer standing above the pink and cream flushed foliage. In the ground needs only sun and little summer water once established. In containers requires more regular moisture. Frost hardy in USDA zone 9.

Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora' is a plant that I don't think gets enough attention as a decorative holiday accent. The common name, "Pink Jelly Beans", doesn't do them justice. They're an outstanding, easy to grow plant, which can be used effectively in a small dish garden on a windowsill, or as a temporary table centerpiece. They're a plant which seems to invite you to have some fun with them, arranging them with other small yellow or green succulents to great effect.
