About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Sensitive plant comes from tropical America, but its moving leaves have earned it names across many cultures. The Chinese name han xiu cao, often understood as 'shy grass', captures the way the leaflets fold when touched.

Fine divided foliage and small rounded flowers make this an engaging botanical specimen in a sheltered container. It is especially useful for observing plant responses and discussing how living things react to their surroundings. Allow time between gentle observations so the leaves can reopen, and give the plant the warm, bright conditions suited to its tropical character.
