The leaves of the variety are spatulate in shape, rather long and spreading, with blunt-toothed margins. A characteristic feature is the presence of a brownish-pink or copper hue, which appears on the leaf edges, base, and veins. The plant forms a large but loose, elongated rosette.
The leaves have a tender, crispy texture; the flavor may have a slight bitterness. The variety is intended for open-field cultivation, primarily in amateur vegetable gardening. Historically, the variety is known under the synonyms Romaine turque or R. Sagau and is distinguished from a closely related variety with white seeds.
