Description
Luffa is a vigorous gourd vine grown for long green fruits that can be eaten young or matured into natural sponges. When fully ripe and dried, the fibrous interior becomes the familiar luffa sponge used for washing, scrubbing, and crafts.
Give the vines a long warm season, strong support, and plenty of room. Luffa is a satisfying crop for self-reliant gardeners, makers, and children who enjoy watching a plant become something useful after harvest.
