The variety forms large, elongated, and slightly open heads. The leaves are blistered, have a tender, crunchy texture, and are light green with a characteristic reddish tint along the edges. The taste is characterized as tart; bitterness may occur if over-matured.
The plant is noted for relative resistance to summer heat, yet it requires regular watering to prevent premature bolting. The variety is an heirloom regional type historically associated with the Lake Geneva region and is used both fresh and for culinary processing, for example, in gratins.
