Haworthia scabra grows without a trunk and sprouts slowly. The twelve to 25 triangular-lanceolate, narrowed, inwardly curved leaves form a rosette with a diameter of up to 6 centimeters and a height of 16 centimeters. The cloudy green leaf blade is up to 1.6 inches long and 2.2 inches wide. It is almost as thick as it is wide. The leaf surface is rough or smooth. There may be clearly raised warts of the same color on it that do not flow together.

The sparsely branched, loose inflorescence reaches a length of up to 42 centimeters and consists of 15 to 20 flowers . The upside-down flower tube is curved and the inner tepals are rolled back.
