Corn salad grows in a low rosette with spatulate leaves up to 15.2 cm long.
It is a hardy plant that grows to zone 5, and in mild climates it is grown as a winter green.

In warm conditions it tends to bolt to seed, producing much-branched stems with clusters (cymes) of flowers.
The flowers have a bluish-white corolla of five fused petals, 1.5 to 2 mm (0.06 to 0.08 in) long and wide, and three stamens.
Underneath the flowers is a whorl of bracts.
Fertilized flowers produce achenes with 2 sterile chambers and one fertile chamber.
