Mimosa strigillosa, commonly known as sunshine mimosa, is a low-growing native perennial groundcover valued for its fern-like foliage and soft pink, puffball flowers. It spreads by runners to form a dense mat, making it an excellent choice for erosion control, naturalized areas, and as a flowering lawn alternative. Its blooms attract pollinators while the foliage folds inward when touched, adding unique visual interest.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Mow or trim occasionally to maintain a neat appearance and encourage dense growth
• Fertilizer: Fertilizer is rarely needed; if desired, apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring
