Sensitive Plant seeds for the indoor garden that is prepared to commit to the timeline. The sensitive plant folds its leaves at the slightest touch, which is the most dramatic thing a plant has ever done at a dinner party.

Sensitive Plant is the plant whose leaves fold closed when touched, which is either miraculous or unsettling the first time you see it. Each packet is hermetically vacuum-sealed -- removing the oxygen that causes standard paper seed packets to lose germination viability within approximately one year. State law requires a 3-year viability label on sealed packaging. NASA research on hermetic seed storage indicates viability of up to 10 years under proper conditions. Every packet is non-GMO and germination-tested at independent third-party labs before it earns its Japanese woodblock print artwork.

How to Grow Sensitive Plant from Seed

Sowing and Germination

Scarify seeds and soak 24 hours. Sow indoors at 21-24C. Germination 7-14 days. Keep warm.

Care and Harvest

Full sun. Water regularly but allow to dry slightly between. Grows as annual in most climates.

Why Vacuum-Sealed Seeds Last Longer

Standard paper seed packets are permeable to oxygen and moisture -- the two primary causes of seed degradation. Most paper-packaged seeds begin losing germination viability after approximately one year, contributing to significant garden-industry waste: packets purchased, not planted, expired, discarded. Shido Seeds are hermetically vacuum-sealed. The packet does not expire quietly in a drawer. It waits.

About the Packaging

Every Shido seed packet is illustrated in the style of Japanese 1910s woodblock printing -- designed and drawn in-house by Chive, the Toronto ceramics studio that has been exhibiting at the Chelsea Flower Show in London every year and does not, as a matter of principle, sell to big-box retailers. Customers collect the packets as a series. This was not the original plan.
