Luffa

Not in stock

Luffa is a tropical vine that can grow up to 30 feet long, producing large, cylindrical fruits that are commonly used as natural sponges when dried. It thrives in warm climates with full sun and well-drained soil, making it a valuable addition to food forests for its dual use as both an edible vegetable and a functional garden tool. The plant is typically grown from seeds, requires regular watering and support for its climbing habit, and benefits from a long growing season, with fruit harvesting occurring in late summer to fall.
