Luffa

This is a Livingseeds family heirloom, grown for years by our very own Ouma, who received seed from a farmer in the Mpumalanga district. It's a slightly smaller fruit than the European Loofah, and we find that the "weave" is finer and not quite as coarse. If you leave the fruit to ripen on the vine, you can grow your very own loofah sponges that are perfect for pamper sessions.

Plant with LOTS of compost and allow the 10-15m vines to grow off the ground.

Ready for harvest around 95 days.


Standard packet contains approx. 15 seeds

Petite packet contains approx. 5 seeds
