Mimosa strigillosa

Sunshine Mimosa aka Sensitive Plant

Named 2008 Florida Plant of the Year, a superb and versatile, no-fuss Florida native. Said to be one of the most intelligent plant in existence as it can tell friend from foe: foliage pulls back or closes if touched by an unfamiliar or threatening person or object.

  • Pink powder-puff flowers year-round
  • Attracts butterflies and pollinators
  • Tolerates light salt drift
