Flowering Mimosa - Small
(mimosa pudica)

Native to Columbia and Brazil the Mimosa has an open habit with delicate, lacy, almost fern-like foliage. Fragrant, silky pink puffy pom-pom blooms which appear in abundance particularly during the summer months. The leaves assume a folded or sleeping posture at the end of the day that is triggered by a decreasing light level. The leaves also assume a folded or sleeping posture when touched or moved. Tropical variety that does very well indoors.
