| Product Care Instructions | Keep plants well-watered during the growing season, especially during dry spells. Plants need about 1-2 inches of rain per week during the growing season. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. It's best to water with a drip or trickle system that delivers water at low pressure at the soil level. If you water with overhead sprinklers, water early in the day so the foliage has time to dry off before evening, to minimize disease problems.

About this product
Grow this heirloom squash variety both to eat and for drying into shower loofah sponges! Harvest ornamental Luffa Gourd at 2" long for delectable baby vegetables - young fruits can be used in soups and stews, and nicely substitute for cucumbers. Harvest gourds at 7" long for drying into loofa bath sponges. Each packet contains 25 luffa seeds. About 90 days from planting, the gourd’s flesh transforms into natural bath sponges for cleaning and exfoliating skin. Cut luffa off the vine with a sharp knife and allow to dry in the sun for about two weeks. They are ready when the skin hardens and turns brown. Sow luffa gourd seeds outdoors in full sun 4 weeks after the average last frost date in your area.
