The rosettes are exceptionally small (1/2–1 inch), tightly packed, and covered in the same fine, white cobweb hairs as the species. The webbed appearance is delicate and intricate. Flat clusters of rose-red flowers appear on short stems in early summer. The miniature scale makes it perfect for small-space succulent gardening. Colonizes slowly to form a fine-textured mat.
