Luffa Gourd Seeds

Bummed

I grew with these last year and they turned out amazing so I thought I would grow some again here in Sisters, Oregon. We have a very short growing season so you have to start these indoors, however out of everything I had under my lights these were the only things that didn’t germinate. Not one. I still have some sponges from last year that we use in the shower, dishes, the dog, etc… They are very versatile and they look gorgeous covering a walkway. I am really really sad that I don’t have any this year knowing what I learned from last year.

All seeds propagated

Too early to review on success of plant but all seeds that were started have produced small plants. Hardening off for the garden now.

Planted 3 luffa seeds and got a gigantic harvest of over 40 luffas; zone 10a florida.
