Whitlow grass, as the name implies, is a spring plant and is usually the first plant to bloom in the spring. A member of the mustard family it is a small plant. The only leaves it has are arranged in a rosette on the ground. It sends up a seed head with white flowers. Not a serious weed in any cropping situation.
