Crassula fascicularis

An erect, few-branched shrublet of the south-western Cape with narrow leaves and dense heads of long, tubular, cream to pale yellow flowers that are fragrant in the evening. It grows in fynbos on sandy and shale soils and flowers in late winter and spring, with most records from August to October. Grow it as a winter grower with a dry, cooler summer.
