I wasn�t sure if luffa would thrive in my garden, but these seeds proved me wrong. The plants grew vigorously and produced several sponges this season. Very pleased with the results.
The seeds arrived fresh and germinated with no issues. The loofahs grew fast, and the texture was ideal for scrubbing. I�ll definitely buy again next season.
These seeds sprouted reliably, but the vines need space and stakes to climb. Once managed, the plants produced robust sponges. Definitely a fun gardening experiment.
These seeds sprouted quickly, and within a few weeks, I had healthy vines climbing my trellis. The loofahs grew large and firm, perfect for crafting homemade sponges. Highly recommend for a backyard garden.
This was my first time growing luffa, and the process was both fun and rewarding. The seeds germinated reliably, and the vines were strong and healthy.
