Features
- Mimosa pudica, commonly known as the sensitive plant or touch-me-not, is a tropical perennial native to South America, famous for its leaves that rapidly fold inward when touched or disturbed.
- This unique movement, called thigmonasty, serves as a defense mechanism against herbivores and environmental stress, with leaves reopening within minutes under calm conditions.
- The plant grows low, typically 1-2 feet tall, with fern-like, bright green foliage and small, fluffy pink or purple flowers that bloom in summer, adding a delicate charm.
- It thrives in warm, humid climates with well-drained soil and partial to full sun, often grown as a houseplant or curiosity in temperate regions, though it can become weedy outdoors in frost-free zones.
- Quality: All Mimosa seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
- Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
