Summer Sweet Luffa Seeds
Estimated delivery between March 27 and March 30.
Luffa Summer Sweet is an exciting and unique plant, well-known for its edible fruit that can be harvested when young for a sweet, crunchy texture or allowed to mature for the iconic luffa sponge. This variety has a pleasant, mild taste when picked early and grows quickly in warm, sunny environments. A fantastic addition to gardens, whether you're growing it for culinary or ornamental purposes.
Features:
Dual Purpose Plant: Young fruit is perfect for eating, while mature fruits are harvested to create the traditional luffa sponges.
Vibrant Growth: The plant has large, vigorous vines that thrive in warm conditions and produce beautiful, creamy white flowers that attract pollinators.
Edible & Versatile: The tender young luffas are often used in salads, stir-fries, and soups for a sweet, crisp texture. As they mature, they harden to form natural, exfoliating sponges.
Planting Instructions:
Planting Time: Begin planting after the last frost when the soil is warm (70 °F or 21 °C). Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or directly sow outside when temperatures are consistently above 65 °F (18 °C).
Soil Type: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter. Raised beds or containers work well for controlled environments.
Spacing: Space seeds 6 inches apart and allow plenty of room for the vines to spread and grow (can reach up to 10-15 feet in length).
Sunlight: Needs full sun to thrive. The warmer the environment, the more quickly it will grow.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during hot summer months.
