Does the Pork and Beans sedum grow and spread like other sedums and how hardy is it?

I'm not positive about the hardiness. It can grow in a zone the goes to freezing but I don't know about sustained freezing temps. The proper name is Sedum rubrotinctum.

Well in my zone I might have to take it indoors in the winter I suppose, does it flower and what color?

I have never seen flowers so they might be inconspicuous. Those are in a window box planter hanging on a chain link fence. I think I would take them in if I lived in a colder zone, like donkeytail sedums. Only they are not quite as tender as donkey tails.

I received a trade and was told it was the Pork and Beans sedum it is hardy in my zone.

Tina beautiful pics. Love your gardens. I have had Crassula tetragona three times it grows beautiful in the summer and I kill it every winter inside. I liked it because it reminds me of a Christmas tree.

Pine tree jade is supposed to do really well inside. It's used in little bonsai type planters for the tree effects. I'm surprised. I don't know enough about over wintering indoors because I don't have to. And I don't know enough about zone hardiness outside of my own. And I also don't know enough about the 'net to look up all the info.
There, did I whine enough?

That was not a whine. I have to teach you how to whine LOL

I think we will make a good pair. I do the indoor all winter, outside in summer. I have researched most of the hardy succulents so I can help the snow bunnies. You can help us when we have the tender sucs outside.

Nope sorry. I'll get better with practice.

Kinda looks like a little porcupine all rolled up.

Tina - I just LOVE that Aeonium hybrid "Blushing Beauty"!!!
How long have you had it? Looks like it's in a pretty small pot?

The Echevaria hybrid "Black Prince" really caught my attention. Good luck with all of them.

Triss, it does look like a porcupiine but feels more like a hedgehog (softer).
Blushing beauty is in a gallon pot and it's time to find her a new home.
Everytime I see a black prince, I have to buy one. Is that sane?
