Tennessee gladecress is a beautiful plant during its blooming season, as it produces a light-lilac colored, small flower.

Members of the Leavenworthia genus are often indigenous to southern states, including Kentucky and Tennessee.

[citation needed] Its early leaves are simple, while mature they are arranged in a lobed pattern, often accompanied by a sharp or square end shape.

L. exigua possesses small flowers during the spring seasons, which are identified by having a pale, lilac color.

The lilac-colored flowers and seeds make their appearance in early spring, which lay dormant during the drier summer season.
