Usually several and sometimes many flattened rosettes of Crassula tomentosa var. tomentosa grow densely together from spreading, ground-level branchlets.
The leaves are erect and tightly together in two ranks before the flower scape appears and rearranges them around itself. The leaves are variably hairy, here notably more along their margins (Frandsen, 2017; Smith, et al, 2017; Bond and Goldblatt, 1984; iNaturalist).
