Sunshine Mimosa is a FL native ground cover ideal for any garden. Not only does it have pretty pink flowers, but it is a legume helping to add nitrogen into the soil. Touching it's tiny green leaves causes them to "close" giving it another name - Sensitive plant. May go somewhat dormant in the colder months. Can be mowed tall. Prolific spreader through rhizomes and may end up in areas you did not intend it to.
The pink "pom-pom" flowers attract pollinators of all types. They begin blooming in spring and last throughtout summer.
Take care in choosing a location for this plant. It is an aggressive spreader. It will try and spread outside of the intended area unless stopped by consistent edging, hardscapes, or concrete. Once it has escaped, it is hard to remove.
