Sensitive Plant Seed Packet

The Sensitive Plant, also known as Mimosa pudica, is a fascinating tropical plant well-known for its unique ability to react to touch. Its fern-like leaves fold inward and droop when disturbed, earning it nicknames like “Touch-Me-Not” and “Shy Plant.” Native to South and Central America, this plant is prized not just for its reactive foliage but also for its delicate pink pom-pom flowers and ease of care. While often grown as a novelty houseplant, it also thrives outdoors in warm climates as a low-growing ornamental. Mimosa pudica is more than just a botanical curiosity—it’s a beautiful, interactive plant that brings a touch of wonder to any space. With its delicate, touch-sensitive foliage and soft pink flowers, it provides both visual appeal and an educational experience for gardeners of all ages.
