Plant 'Bright Idea' Stonecrop in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Space plants about 18 inches apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, reduce watering as the plant is drought-tolerant. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding.
