The bulbs have a flat-round, sometimes heart-shaped-oblate shape. The outer scales are colored light brown with a pinkish or reddish tint, and the flesh is white with reddish or pinkish-purple tones. The taste is characterized as pungent or moderately pungent.
The variety is traditionally grown in a three-year cycle: seeds — sets — marketable bulb. The plant tolerates drought well and possesses a developed root system that requires moisture during the period of active bulb growth. During heat treatment, the bulbs cook down quickly, making the variety suitable for specific dishes.
The produce has excellent keeping quality. The traditional method of storing and marketing the variety involves braiding the bulbs into wreaths made of rye straw.
