Seed Needs Sensitive Plant Seeds for Planting Mimosa pudica - Heirloom Open Pollinated Annual Flowers - Pink Blooms with Leaves that React to Touch (2 Packs)

About this item 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.
