Ukrainian heirloom luffa «Kitchen Towel»
This variety grows excellent edible luffa, 8-12 inches long, 3-4 inches across, around 350 grams in weight, with relatively light green skin and white flesh.
Young fruits are very delicious, excellent for soup and stir-fry cooking. This vine plant grows very fast in warm climates and is generally grown along supports in the Orient. Very popular in Taiwan, Southern China and Japan.
How to grow
The first step in growing luffas is to plant your seeds. The season for growing luffas is extremely long, so you need to expect to start your seeds extremely early and grow them indoors under a light sort of like a house plant. In Oklahoma, I start mine in January and set them in the ground outside around April 15 or early May. They need to grow a foot long or more before you plant them in the ground.
(If you’re wondering if luffa is the correct spelling, you can spell it that way, or loofah, either is correct, so spell it however you’d like.)
Luffa seeds can be tough to germinate. It can take anywhere from a week to two months for them to sprout. The ones we planted two years ago took 6 weeks to germinate, and the ones we planted this year took one week. Be prepared to be patient.
