Fresh Dormidera (Mimosa pudica) is offered in two presentations: Fresh Cut Herb or Rooted Plant – With Root. Also known as Sensitive Plant, Touch-Me-Not, Dormilona, and Vergonzosa, Dormidera is a distinctive fresh herb used in botanical, spiritual, and religious plant traditions.

Fresh Dormidera – Sensitive Plant

Mimosa pudica is known for its delicate compound leaves, which naturally fold in response to touch or movement. Each order contains fresh Dormidera selected and packed for shipment. Because this is a natural plant, stem length, leaf size, fullness, and appearance can vary by season and availability.
