Mimosa pudica (Sensitive Plant)
Approx. 15 seeds.
A fascinating plant loved for its unique ability to move when touched. The fern‑like leaves of Mimosa pudica fold instantly when brushed, tapped or blown on, reopening a short time later. Plants form soft, feathery foliage and delicate pink, powder‑puff flowers in summer. Perfect for children, houseplant lovers and anyone who enjoys growing something a little unusual.
A tender perennial that is often grown as a houseplant in the UK, where warm, stable indoor conditions allow it to behave more like a perennial. Outdoors it is best treated as an annual, thriving only in the warmest part of summer. Needs warmth to germinate and grow well.
