About Sunshine Mimosa Ground Cover :
Sunshine Mimosa or Sensitive Plant is a prostrate ground cover that grows very close to the ground and spreads out laterally. It is an evergreen perennial with small oval pinnate leaves (like a feather) that resemble fern. The leaves will fold close if the plant is touched or disturbed. From late spring to early winter it puts up 6” stalks of sparkling pink puff ball flowers. It is also sometimes called a Fiber Optic Plant due to the bright sparkling yellow tips on the puff ball flowers.
Sunshine Mimosa is native to Florida, Georgia and many areas in Texas, and is a very useful addition for problem landscape areas. It is a great alternative to turf for embankments or other problem mowing areas, and a great low maintenance landscape addition. A fun plant to grow as family project, and also suitable for pots and baskets.
