Sponge Luffa is also called Chinese Okra or Silk Squash or Angled Loofah . It is NOT a squash or an okra. Very hard to find the originating seed for this naturally grown skin exfoliating sponge gourd.

It is very late maturing and only recommended for the greenhouse in the Canadian climate.  We are currently working on breeding earlier varieties. This is a tropical species.
