1962LU Luffa Gourd (110 days) Open-pollinated. Luffa ægyptiaca May be more closely related to the cucumber than to the hardshell Lagenaria. Also known as the Dishrag Gourd, dried and used for making bath sponges. Some folks pick them young, steam them and panfry them. In addition to being a scrubber and a comestible, this versatile gourd has been used to make soundproof wall boarding, to insulate army helmets, to stuff mattresses and saddles and even to make filters for steam engines and diesel motors! Caution: Luffa requires a long season. Start indoors and culture like melons. We recommend trellising if you want your luffas to remain straight.
