Kew For Kids : Mimosa Sensitive Plant 1 Packet

 

Garden Centre > Seeds & Bulbs > Seeds For Kids

"Sensitive Plant", so called because the leaflets fold up in a most spectacular manner when touched or blown by the wind. Run your hand over the plant and the leaves will fold up and the leaf stalk will drop as if on a hinge. The movements are quickest with young plants in bright sunshine. They return to their normal condition in a few minutes.

Our community of gardeners have a wealth of experience, beautiful garden and great photos, discover more on the following pages: ideas for children.
