Bashfulplant
Mimosa pigra
Bashfulplant is a fast-growing tropical shrub with striking feathery foliage and pink pompom flowers, but it is classified as a serious invasive weed in many tropical regions outside its native range. It thrives in moist, well-drained soils with partial to full sun and warm temperatures year-round. Exercise extreme caution before planting outdoors, as it can escape cultivation and displace native vegetation.
