Angie, Xerophyta retinervis is usually sold by succulent nurseries but it needs al lot of water in summer, letting it almost dry between a watering and the other. It is not to treat as a real succulent!

Amazing how much it looks like our grass trees, but more definitely so different flower-wise.  You learn something new every day!!  :o  I would rather like to grow that myself..... quite a fascinating plant.
