 | Sensitive Plant Seeds (Mimosa pudica). Seeds of the Sensitive Plant (Mimosa pudica) were first planted in an oval flower bed at Monticello on March 22, 1811. This variety has been grown as a curiosity for centuries, and was included in many early 19th-century seed lists. A favorite feature of a child's garden, the unusual leaves fold together when touched. The plants produce pink, mimosa-like, pompom flowers in mid-summer and can also be grown in a container.
