Mimosa-Strigillosa (Sunshine Mimosa)

Often grown as a groundcover in southern climates (where gardeners actually mow it down like turf grass), Sunshine Mimosa, like its cousin, Mimosa Pudica, is a "sensitive plant" that folds its leaves up when touched. During growing seasons, it blooms pink, one-inch, ball-shaped flowers that look like mini powderpuffs. Potted in a 6" container.
