Packet of 20 Seeds Mimosa Pudica"Touch Me Not", "Sensitive Plant" Mimosa pudica (from Latin pudica 'shy, bashful, or shrinking') also called sensitive plant, sleepy plant, action plant, touch-me-not, or shameplant. It is a creeping annual or perennial flowering plant of the pea/legume family Fabaceae It is often grown for its curiosity value: the sensitive compound leaves fold inward and droop when touched or shaken and re-open a few minutes later. The species is native to the Caribbean and South and Central America, but is now a pantropical weed, and can now be found in the Southern United States, South Asia, East Asia, Micronesia, Australia, South Africa, and West Africa as well. Due to Mimosa's unique response to touch, it became an ideal plant for many experiments regarding plant habituation and memory. ::Germination:: Soak Mimosa seed in warm water, 20 minutes prior to sowing seeds in cell packs or flats.
