Product Overview
Giant Sensitive Plant aka Botswanna Wonder (Aeschynomene fluitans)
Cannot be shipped to: CA or LA
This larger variety of sensitive plant can spread 6' to 8', or even farther. It closes when touched like the regular sensitive plant, but is not quite as sensitive and closes more slowly. Can be trained up on to rocks and streams. The one inch yellow flowers resemble the common sweet-pea. Giant Sensitive grows quickly in warm weather, and is an attractive and unusual accent plant for the water garden. Tolerates cooler conditions than the regualr sensitive plant, but is still used only as an annual plant outside, except in the very warmest Southern areas of the country.
