The plant reaches a height of 60 to 120 cm and is characterized by a long maturation period with harvest beginning in October. The stems of the variety are prone to lodging and require staking.

The sprouts have a purple-red hue, which turns blue-purple after frosts and persists during cooking. The taste is described as mild, with nutty notes. The variety is not an F1 hybrid and is characterized by average yield compared to modern green varieties.

The plant is susceptible to diseases and pests typical for cruciferous crops, including bacterial rots.
