Sedum lucidum 'Obesum', also called Giant Jelly Bean, is a succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family. It originates from arid regions and is well-suited for dry, sunny environments.
The leaves are plump, oval-shaped, and resemble jelly beans, with a glossy green hue that can turn burgundy-red in full sun. It forms a trailing habit, making it suited for hanging baskets or high shelves.
This plant produces small, star-shaped yellow flowers in late spring to early summer. The blooms cluster at the tips of the stems, adding a subtle contrast to the foliage.
Sedum 'Obesum' can move outside for summer but needs cover from rain to prevent rot. It tolerates dry, heated air and shows slight wilting when the soil is dry, signaling the need for water.
