Pink Berry

Pink Berry (Sedum ‘pink berry’)

• Other Known Names: Canny Hinny, Pink Jellybean Sedum
• Genus: Sedum

Aesthetic Description

The Pink Berry is pure bubblegum bliss. Its short, chubby leaves grow in tight clusters along trailing stems, shifting from pale green to blushed pink and sometimes berry red, especially under sun stress or cool temperatures. Its texture is soft and cheerful — like a candy shop you can plant. Whether spilling from a pot or tucked into a bowl, it adds sweetness and bounce to any display.

Scientific Description

Sedum pink berry is a cultivated trailing succulent in the Crassulaceae family. It forms low mats of small, cylindrical leaves on flexible stems. While not formally classified as a botanical species, it is grown widely for its colour-shifting foliage and compact form. Blooms are small, white to pink, and rarely the focus.

General Botanical Information

Well suited to small pots, hanging planters, and low-growing succulent mixes. This sedum roots easily from fallen leaves and is fast to establish. Colour intensifies in full sun and under mild stress, making it popular for display arrangements.
