Sedum pachyphyllum 'Jelly Bean Red' (Sedum pachyphyllum) is a striking, plump-leaved succulent that earns its name from its chubby, jelly bean-shaped leaves that blush a vivid red — deepening to an intense, jewel-like crimson when grown in full sun. This fast-clustering variety brings bold colour and texture to any succulent display, container garden, or windowsill arrangement.

Wonderfully easy to grow and incredibly rewarding, Jelly Bean Red intensifies in colour with more sun exposure, making it a dynamic plant that changes with the seasons. A favourite among collectors for its cheerful, candy-like appearance and effortless growth habit.
