Luffa Squash Plant Start
Whether you spell it 'loofah,' 'luffa,' or 'loofa,' these gourds are tasty cooked like okra when young, and the mature fruits, when dried, make excellent sponges. Many people prefer this as a dishcloth. The fruit grows about 2 feet, and the vine is very ornamental, producing clusters of yellow blossoms, in pleasing contrast with the silvery-shaded, dark green foliage.
