Luffa seeds, require a long, warm growing season of 90–120+ days to produce mature, fibrous gourds. Plant seeds 1/2–1 inch deep in full sun, ideally in biodegradable pots 4–6 weeks before the last frost, as roots are sensitive. The vines need a sturdy trellis for straight, clean sponges.
Perfect for gardeners looking for something both decorative and practical, these plants produce beautiful yellow flowers that attract pollinators and add tropical charm to your garden.
