When lightly touched, the delicate, ferny leaves fold up sequentially and will do the same every night, a fascinating trait that children love to observe. Prickly stems and Dr. Seuss-like pink flowers complete the picture and, since it is so easy to grow, it makes a perfect gift, science experiment, or plant pet. Vigorous; prune lightly to keep shrubby; short-lived but grows easily from its plentiful seeds.
