Seeds for the Loofa, Luffa, Loofah gourd, a large vine which grows to a huge plant with gourds that can be peeled and cut into Loofa sponges. You will receive 10 seeds.
Color variations in the sponges themselves are due to how long I let them mature before peeling them. They have identical textures regardless of color.
Natural and beautiful, these luffa seeds were grown in the United States and harvested by hand. No herbicides or pesticides were used. Beautiful yellow flowers bloom on the vine from around July until…. it’s October, now, and we’re still getting blossoms! They attract many bees and butterflies – even hummingbirds!
The loofa gourds measure nearly 2 1/2 feet long! A very strong fence or trellis is needed to support the plant. They need a lot of water, so plant accordingly.
It is up to the customer to know if it is legal in their state or location to grow any seeds from my shop.
This plant is best grown in warmer climates, they will not survive frost, and need 150 to 200 warm days to reach maturity.
Germination tested spring 2021 (see last photo.) Sow directly in ground after danger of frost, or a week or two early indoors. My own experience is that the indoor seedling needs to be planted by two weeks or it will wilt.
