The Sensitive Plant, also known as Mimosa pudica, is a fascinating tropical plant well-known for its unique ability to react to touch. Its fern-like leaves fold inward and droop when disturbed, earning it nicknames like “Touch-Me-Not” and “Shy Plant.” Native to South and Central America, this plant is prized not just for its reactive foliage but also for its delicate pink pom-pom flowers and ease of care. While often grown as a novelty houseplant, it also thrives outdoors in warm climates as a low-growing ornamental. Mimosa pudica is more than just a botanical curiosity—it’s a beautiful, interactive plant that brings a touch of wonder to any space. With its delicate, touch-sensitive foliage and soft pink flowers, it provides both visual appeal and an educational experience for gardeners of all ages.

Pro Tip

Keep your Sensitive Plant in a spot where it won’t be constantly triggered by movement or touch. While the plant’s response is fascinating, repeated stimulation can stress the plant and hinder its growth. Allow time for recovery and only demonstrate its movement occasionally.

Getting to know your Sensitive Plant

The Sensitive Plant is a low-growing, spreading herbaceous plant with a delicate and airy appearance. It forms a mat-like shape with fine, bipinnate leaves—meaning each leaf is divided into many tiny leaflets. These leaves are sensitive to touch, motion, heat, and even darkness, responding by folding inward and drooping temporarily as a defense mechanism.

The stems are thin, slightly spiny, and can develop a reddish hue as they mature. During the warm months, Mimosa pudica produces small globular pink or purple puffball flowers that resemble dandelion fluff and are mildly fragrant.

Our Seed Safety Promise

We do not sell genetically modified seeds — ever. And we don’t use genetic engineering to breed new varieties. Instead, our skilled breeders use traditional, natural crossing methods to create hybrid seeds that are healthy, safe, and packed with potential.

Our Seed Quality Guarantee

At Shido, we believe great gardens start with great seeds — and that means quality comes first. Every seed lot we offer is ensure to generate top-notch germination because your garden deserves nothing less.

Types of Seeds We Offer

Hybrid Seeds (F1)

F1 hybrid seeds are the garden’s high achievers — created by crossing two specially chosen parent plants for superior vigor, uniformity, and performance. We use only traditional breeding methods to produce these powerhouse seeds.

Open-Pollinated & Heirloom Seeds

Our open-pollinated (OP) seeds naturally reproduce through wind, insects, water, or self-pollination. When grown in isolation, they produce true-to-type plants year after year.

Among our OP seeds are treasured heirloom varieties — old favorites that have been carefully passed down for generations. While OP plants can be less uniform than hybrids, we run our Open-Pollinated Project to select the most reliable, flavorful, and beautiful strains. Many are also available as certified organic seeds.

Non-GMO: What It Means and Why It Matters

GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) is created when scientists alter a plant’s DNA in a lab — often by inserting genes from completely unrelated species — to achieve certain traits, like pest resistance or herbicide tolerance. This is a far cry from natural plant breeding.

At Shido, we believe gardening should stay as close to nature as possible. All our seeds — whether hybrid, heirloom, organic, or open-pollinated — are Non-GMO. They’re bred using traditional methods that respect natural biodiversity, giving you safe, wholesome seeds that grow into plants just as nature intended.

When you plant Shido Non-GMO seeds, you’re choosing purity, sustainability, and peace of mind — along with a garden full of flavor, color, and beauty.
