Germination was slow at first, but once they took off, the vines grew rapidly. I had to give them some extra support, but the final harvest was worth the wait.
I grew these loofahs to make my own natural sponges. The plants thrived in my backyard, and I ended up with a good harvest. Great for anyone who enjoys hands-on gardening.
These seeds sprouted faster than I expected. With some trellising, the gourds grew strong and healthy. It�s fun to watch them develop into full-sized loofahs. Very satisfying for a home gardener.
Planted 12 seeds, and nearly all sprouted. The vines grew quickly and the gourds matured nicely. A very productive and reliable seed pack.
These loofahs need a lot of room and strong support for the vines. Once you provide that, they grow beautifully and produce full-sized sponges. Definitely a garden project worth trying.
