'''''Sedum rubrotinctum''''', commonly known as the '''Jelly Bean Plant''', or '''Pork and Beans''', is a species of ''[[Sedum]]'' from the ''[[Crassulaceae]]'' family of plants. Nicknamed for its short leaves that resemble [[jelly bean]]s, especially when taking on a protective hue.<ref name="Backyard Gardener"/> The plant was named officially as a distinct species in 1948. It is a [[succulent plant]] originating in Mexico, that is grown very easily and tolerates all types of soil except for those that are poorly drained. It grows very well in summer, but can take variations in climate although it is not frost-tolerant.
The leaves of this plant change colour from green to red during the summer months as a protective adaptation, and sprout bright yellow flowers from between the leaves in mid-spring.
