Mimosa Pudica Seeds (Sensitive Plant)
Mimosa pudica is a tropical plant native to Central and South America, known for its delicate fern-like foliage and small pink pom-pom shaped flowers. Often called the “Sensitive Plant,” it is famous for its ability to close its leaves when touched or when exposed to movement, as well as folding up at night. This creeping herb adds both visual interest and interactive appeal to gardens and indoor plant collections.
A Unique Plant for Containers and Indoor Growing
In cooler climates, Mimosa pudica is commonly grown as a houseplant or annual, while in warmer regions it behaves as a perennial and can become invasive if not managed. Beyond its ornamental value, the plant and its seeds are traditionally associated with medicinal uses, making it an intriguing addition for gardeners interested in multipurpose plants. As a trusted Canadian seed shop, quality is always the number one priority for us. Explore our collections to discover carefully selected seeds suited to a wide range of growing conditions.

FAQs
How do I grow Mimosa pudica from seed?
In order to grow Mimosa pudica from seed, you need to soak seeds in warm water before planting to improve germination, then sow them in well-drained soil in a warm, bright location. Keep the soil consistently moist during early growth.
Why does Mimosa pudica close its leaves when touched?
Mimosa pudica has fine hairs that sense movement and trigger the leaves to fold inward as a natural defense response, which also occurs at night.
