Growing details
Grow your own garden sponges. This smooth, round luffa develops a fibrous inside when its fruit fully matures and dries. It is a long-season vine that needs warm weather and plenty of room.
Growing tips: Plant after frost in warm soil and full sun. Provide a strong trellis to carry the vines and hanging gourds. Allow fruit to mature fully for sponge use; short growing seasons may need an early indoor start.
Packet: 12 seeds.
