Description

The listing, Luffa seeds 10 has ended.

This auction is for (10) seeds to grow luffa gourds.

Luffa gourds (also spelled "loofa" or "loofah"), are sometimes called "dishcloth gourds" or "vegetable sponges." Luffa gourds are grown primarily for their fibrous tissue skeleton, which is commonly used as a bath or sauna sponge when left to dry out on the vine, but young fruits, less than 7 inches long, can be cooked and eaten as squash or substituted for cucumber in salads.

The vines and leaves of this plant resemble the look of a cucumber plant. Its vines can reach lengths of 15 feet or more! They make an excellent summer screen plant as they love climbing up fences.

You can start seeds indoors several weeks before the desired transplant date. Seeds can take up to 2 weeks to sprout. Pre-soaking in warm water for 48 hours will speed germination. Set transplants out as soon as the soil has warmed, around mid-May, then protect the plants from frost in both spring and fall. Plant one to three plants in a hill, with hills at least 6 feet apart.
