Ever want to be a magician? This sensitive plant will allow you to become the real houdini! A marvel of nature, this delicate perennial native to South and Central America responds to touch by folding its leaves, captivating observers with its unique sensitivity. This reaction is a defense mechanism to deter herbivores. With graceful fern-like foliage and pink powderpuff blooms, it adds a touch of whimsy to any garden. It prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun to partial shade.

Fun

Sprouted quickly. It has grown four branches in the first month. Sensitive and Dramatic - it "plays dead" and droops when you tap or brush it... then springs back to life. Eager to see the pink pompom flowers in the future.

Found these wild when I was a kid, and cannot wait to share them with my kids and the other children that visit us at the farmer's market on weekends!

Childhood memory

I remember seeing these plants in the greenhouse when I was a child. I can’t wait to grow them myself and share the experience with my own kids.
