Luffa Cylindrica
Seed from a Hungarian loofah producer.
Cultivation is like for cucumbers in a greenhouse or wine-growing climate. Approx. 30-cm-long cucumber-like fruits. Young fruits can be eaten stewed. Dried skeleton parts of the ripe fruits can be used as a sponge for the kitchen or for a body scrub in the bath.
Sowing: from mid March to end of April.
Plant outdoors from the second part of May, after the frost.
Harvest: July-September
