Luffa aegyptiaca
 
HEIRLOOM - Luffa plants have so much more to offer than just bath sponges! Grow them for their care-free, rampantly exuberant vines which produce lovely 2" white flowers in summer heat, or for their young, tender fruits that are a tasty vegetable when lightly steamed or stir fried. Loves a sturdy trellis, tree, or large shrub to climb.
