The variety belongs to six-row hulless barleys, which lack the tight adhesion of the floral glumes to the caryopsis, eliminating the need for dehulling. The plant is characterized by the presence of graceful awns.
As a spring variety, Hemelgerst is sown between early March and early April, and the harvest is collected from mid-July to mid-August. Historically, the grain of this barley was used for preparing groats and in baking.
