Jovibarba hirta var. neilreichii is a perennial that forms a dense mat, reaching heights of up to 15 cm. Its foliage consists of compact rosettes made up of slender green leaves, which may display red tips or a reddish hue. After a few years, it can produce a flowering stem adorned with pale yellow blooms during the summer months. Once flowering is complete, the original rosette will die back.
