Beautiful – Large full-color packet of Luffa (or Loofah) Gourd (Luffa aegyptiaca) seeds. Grow your own bath sponge! Luffa is easy to grow, with long hanging gourds that can be peeled and used as an all natural exfoliating bath sponge. Young fruit is edible and can be cooked like okra. Minimum of 2g per packet (about 30 seeds).
Productive – Luffa germinates after 7-10 days when soil temps are 70-85°F. Plant 1” deep and space 12” apart in an area with full sun. This variety will grow 2-3’ tall with a spread of 8-12’. Gourds will mature in 150-200 days, plant in USDA zones 6-12.
Smooth Skin – Luffa’s fibrous texture gently exfoliates the skin without scratching it or causing chemical-induced irritation, removing dead skin cells and making your skin feel smooth and radiant. Let your luffa sponge dry fully between showers and replace it every three or four weeks to avoid bacteria buildup.
