Description

The listing, 20 Mimosa Pudica Seeds ("sensitive plant") has ended.

I have more than 100 of these seeds and am listing them in quantities of 20.

I have started six of the seeds, four of which are sprouting nicely and already have true leaves that react when touched.

This lovely houseplant will grow to about five feet and will bloom little pink puffball blossoms.

THIS IS NOT A TREE. Once the plant reaches a couple of feet in height, it will begin to trail like a vine.

If you've never seen a mimosa pudica reacting to touch, you can search youtube and find videos of this. It's quite surprising to see a plant react to touch so quickly and dramatically.

Not at all. Here in VA (zone 7), they make great houseplants that can be placed outside for the summer and brought back in before the temperature dips in the fall.
