Sensitive Plant is a unique tropical perennial valued for its interactive foliage and ornamental appeal. This live plant grows delicate fern-like leaves that respond to touch by folding inward, making it a fascinating addition to indoor collections, patio containers, and specialty plant gardens.

Mimosa pudica produces soft pink puffball-style flowers as it matures, adding seasonal color to its attractive foliage. Mature plants typically reach approximately 12–24 inches tall and 12–18 inches wide with proper care. It thrives in full sun to partial sun and can be grown outdoors in warm climates or enjoyed as a houseplant in cooler regions.

Approx. 4-inch potted live plant at time of shipping.
