Luffa cylindrica

Yellow Peel Loofah was given to us by a client, we have found this to be an exceptionally hardy and productive variety with medium sized cylindrical fruits. The plants are robust with minimal pest and disease issues and on Livingseeds Farm the plants showed very high tolerance to powdery mildew.

For best results, allow the fruits to fully dry on the vine and only pick once the skin cracks under pressure. Very easy to clean and save seed from. We find that each loofah can be cut into 2 or 3 sections for use in the bath or shower.

This is an unusual variety as it has white seeds that could lead some to believe that the seed is infertile, however the seed is naturally white.
